A few years ago I ran into a young man named Michael. I had some art supplies and one of the kids took me to meet him. He was providing free art classes for the kids under a tree in the bus park. He told me his dream was to open a school for the kids to learn where they would not get wet. Well he has done it. He has opened a school almost where the tree was. This school is free for all children/teens/adults that want to learn art or practice. We have been working at getting some people to teach workshops and send donations or bring them when they come...here is a list of things needed if you would like to help
paint brushes
acrylic paint actually any kind of paint
art books and video's
frames 4X6 or 5X7
white paper (this is for the beginners to practise)
sketch books
crayola coloured pencils
colouring books and crayons (for the youngest)
pencils and erasers
sharpener that attaches to the wall
the school will be posting it's new hours of operation shortly...Michael is a very humble man who does a lot of the sign painting in town. He started this dream under a tree in the bus park teaching the students if you can help in any way please support this wonderful young man. Who is doing such a good thing for the community....if you cannot carry donations then please stop by the school and purchase some art to help fund this wonderful project....
