Allen Art to Go begins this month in 12 AISD elementary schools. Boon is the newest school to join our program.
Thank you to all our volunteer school coordinators and classroom volunteers. We appreciate you!
We still need volunteers for Boyd and Roundtree. If these schools are in your neighborhood, consider supporting them with Allen Art to Go. If they're not, and if you believe in the importance of an arts-rich education for all, consider venturing outside the neighborhood with Allen Art to Go.
