KIDS NEED ART: WINNERS
"Public school arts programs often constitute the only exposure a child gets to exploring the artistic dimensions of life. It is a vital form of self-expression as well as integration of other modes of learning. Students who engage art in the formative elementary and middle school years are more well-rounded and better prepared to creatively face adult realities later in life."
- David Heitman, President of The Creative Alliance
  Founder of the Kids Need Art Mini-Grant Program
