art-project-1 The art project began in 2007 and consisted of a week long workshop at each of the schools. Every class had a 90 minute workshop which focused on the visual arts. Each student created several original paintings, many of which have been displayed at community venues in the United States. Proceeds from sales of the paintings fund Pocketful of Joy projects. Plans to expand artistic workshops and forums are underway, as are plans to create more consistent arts programming.
