Art Buddies expands to St. Paul this fall!

Plans are in the works to bring Art Buddies to students at Riverview West Side School of Excellence in St. Paul this fall!

Art Buddies will continue after-school programs in Minneapolis at Bancroft and Whittier International elementary schools, pairing nearly 230 Twin Cities kids with 230 creative mentors during the 2015-2016 school year.

We're excited to continue expanding our award-winning arts program to empower more kids in our community.

More mentors and art supplies will be needed this fall. Here are 3 ways you can help:

  1. Volunteer (mentor applications will be accepted in Sept. 2015)

  2. Donate

  3. Advocate: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn,
