Help buy art supplies for SkyART participants!

Help buy art supplies for SkyART participants!

If you’re like us, you’re probably asking yourself, “What can I do to help during this difficult time?”
 
At SkyART, the healthy and safety of our community is our first priority. But, most importantly, we feel a strong call to action — to continue providing meaningful, engaging programming virtually (click here) for our participants even though we can’t be there for them physically.

There are things that each and everyone of us can do, whether you are an artist by trade or artist at HeART.

 Ways You Can Help

SkyART Art Kit Drive

Supply Art Kits

Most youth served by SkyART live in under-resourced communities with little to no art supplies in school or at home. Through our program they receive a free and safe place to engage in art activities with all the supplies necessary to explore. Purchasing art supplies from our Amazon Wish List helps give youth the necessary materials to continue expanding their artistic palette while sheltering-in-place.

 

SkyART Challenge
