Hopes and Dreams for the Future - Art Show by the SCCOE
With the Presidential Inauguration and the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday at the end of January, we think it is a great time to ask students to share their thoughts about the world ahead of us. As a result, the SCCOE is asking students to create a piece of art that clearly address the theme: Hopes and Dreams for the Future.
Submissions are due January 6, 2021, selected pieces will be highlighted on the SCCOE website; as well as, at their Power of Democracy virtual event at the end of January. For more information, visit: https://bit.ly/367TcKa.
Our student's voices are so important!

Art Vistas for Good Fundraiser
Art Vistas, Inc. is a nonprofit, volunteer-led organization that provides art education to students in Union School District. Their operating cost is covered by program fees and fundraising efforts throughout the year. This year, Art Vistas has come up with a fundraising effort that has a dual-approach: to help Art Vistas, while also supporting local artists by enabling them to sell their handcrafted art.
With Art Vistas for Good, a percentage of the proceeds will be given back to local artists to support their work, and the rest will be donated to Art Vistas.
To view available art pieces or if you would like to learn more about Art Vistas for Good, visit: https://www.artvistas.org/art-vistas-for-good.html
