Join Us at the Blick Art Materials Twitter Party January 16th

I know first hand how much money out of pocket teachers spend on their classrooms.  Before school started, I purchased over $100 on materials for my room.  It all adds up.  I need to have materials available for my first graders, and sometimes we don’t have enough funds  at school to be reimbursed.  Blick Art Materials is coming to the aid of teachers everywhere!

What: Do you believe art is an essential part of your child’s education? Then you already know how important art education is — and how schools are struggling to keep their art programs alive. That’s where Art Room Aid can help! A program of Blick Art Materials, Art Room Aid is helping teachers across the country enlist the aid of parents, families, friends, and other art advocates to fund their art projects and keep creative learning going.

Want to learn more? Join this Twitter Party to find out how you can support art education, make sure art continues to play a role in your children’s lives, and spread the word about Art Room Aid in your community. We’ll be discussing projects you can do with your own kids, and sharing sources of inspiration.
