Make a Connection Thru Art

The Make a Connection Thru Art program brings professional artists into the classroom to work with students. While the students collaborate to create unique projects that reflect their own voices, they learn new artistic techniques and build important technology and life skills.

Our programs have been inspiring students to create amazing works, captured digitally on this website. If you participated in one of our programs, you can find your project by looking for your school name (listed by state and city). Feel free to explore other projects from students near you or from across the country.
