About the provider

Since 2008, over 8,700 elementary students in H.I.S.D. have received visual arts instruction through the ArtBound! program. Classroom teachers take part in the planning process, and residencies may end with an informal showing of student artwork on campus, a mural unveiling, or a school-wide festival contribution.

Offered to 2nd through 8th grade students attending Title 1 campuses with minimal visual arts instruction. The program does not offer workshops for before or afterschool programs.
