Teachers who teach art road classes are often practicing artists in the community who come to share their skills with the students. Important problem-solving tasks are learned that help kids in all aspects of their lives. Are you a practicing artist with teaching skills who would like to help? Learn more.

Adopt Mustang Sally!

A $10,000 donation to Art Road will allow us to bring art class to 40 students for the entire school year. And, you will be the proud owner of Mustang Sally. Created on March 26, 2010 by 125 Art Road students and fourteen volunteers, the giant art dog was inspired by lovable thirteen-inch-tall "art dogs" created by students in our classrooms.  Contact us if you want to know more about adopting Mustang Sally.
