A Creative City Grant Public Art Project funded by New England Foundation for the Arts

ldquoThis program was beneficial because it gives kids a kinesthetic way of working and creating beautiful things Our students were able to employ concentration focus and patience to see their projects through to completion and when complete they were rewarded with something tangible that they had made themselves The confidence that this gave kids in their ability was great to seerdquo

ldquoThis is one of the best art classes Ive been in because there is a lot of creativityrdquo

ldquoI get to make anything with real toolsrdquoldquoI can be myself in artrdquo

Hands-on Learning for AllWe believe all children have the right to great art education Our School Partnership Program reaches children who may not receive art woodworking or tinkering classes anywhere else Our high-quality classes take place at many locations across Bostonmdashin public schools libraries and community centersOur programs ignite creativity enjoyment and the pride of accomplishment as children make objects and art by hand Our curriculum supports literacy and STEM and aligns with Common Core We serve a broad range of learners including English Language Learners students with behavioral challenges and students with disabilitiesThis year we are proud to teach 2000 students throughout the city from Kindergarten through Grade 8

ScholarshipsOur Scholarship Fund provides a bridge for children from our School Partnership Program to our schoolhouse Some 60 students from low-income households attend our Summer Program for Children and other classes during the school year free of charge

Quality TeachingGood teaching depends on skilled well-supported faculty Our Art Teachers Alliance improves skills shares resources and builds collegiality among art teachers from the Eliot School charter schools Boston Public Schools and community partners The alliance grows out of our Network E Arts Initiative (previously the Roslindale Arts Initiative) and is funded in part by EdVestors and Linde Family Foundation

A Creative City Grant Public Art Project funded by New England Foundation for the Arts

ldquoThis program was beneficial because it gives kids a kinesthetic way of working and creating beautiful things Our students were able to employ concentration focus and patience to see their projects through to completion and when complete they were rewarded with something tangible that they had made themselves The confidence that this gave kids in their ability was great to seerdquo

ldquoThis is one of the best art classes Ive been in because there is a lot of creativityrdquo

ldquoI get to make anything with real toolsrdquoldquoI can be myself in artrdquo

Hands-on Learning for AllWe believe all children have the right to great art education Our School Partnership Program reaches children who may not receive art woodworking or tinkering classes anywhere else Our high-quality classes take place at many locations across Bostonmdashin public schools libraries and community centersOur programs ignite creativity enjoyment and the pride of accomplishment as children make objects and art by hand Our curriculum supports literacy and STEM and aligns with Common Core We serve a broad range of learners including English Language Learners students with behavioral challenges and students with disabilitiesThis year we are proud to teach 2000 students throughout the city from Kindergarten through Grade 8

ScholarshipsOur Scholarship Fund provides a bridge for children from our School Partnership Program to our schoolhouse Some 60 students from low-income households attend our Summer Program for Children and other classes during the school year free of charge

Quality TeachingGood teaching depends on skilled well-supported faculty Our Art Teachers Alliance improves skills shares resources and builds collegiality among art teachers from the Eliot School charter schools Boston Public Schools and community partners The alliance grows out of our Network E Arts Initiative (previously the Roslindale Arts Initiative) and is funded in part by EdVestors and Linde Family Foundation

We also collaborate with the Boston Public Schools Arts Office to provide professional development for BPS visual arts teachers The program brings together teachers from across the district for workshops classroom observations mutual mentorship and support
