As of now, there is not an art program scheduled for Edison Elementary School for the Fall of August 2009. As a parent and artist; this really saddens me. We have joined the Art for Edison group and strive to raise $60,000 by May 28th 2009. The money will help hire either a full time art teacher and purchase all the supplies, or to have an artist in residence program, depending on how much money we raise. You can learn more on the Art for Edison website www.artforedison.org
There will be a silent auction on May 8th, from 6-9 pm with announcements at 9:30 at the Namaste Hospice and Events Center, 3945 Tennyson Street, Denver map

From one artist to another - While it saddens me to see that schools are being forced to cut art and music programs, I am glad to see that there is an outpouring of community support in favor of keeping them! It is good to know that people recognize the value of art in the schools. I would not be who I am today if it were not for the encouragement of my grade school art teacher.
The site looks great! I love that it is so bright and fresh… Can’t wait to see those engagement photos of Andrew and Rach!
