ARTCART IS...MORE THAN ART INSTRUCTION
ArtCart's impact extends far beyond traditional art instruction. The program has achieved widespread success over the past nine years and continues to drive enhancements in arts education. Initially implemented as a pilot in one school, it has now expanded to over 37 elementary schools instructing over 42,000 students. ArtCart was developed to deliver exceptional art instruction and curriculum to students of all ages. It functions as a mobile art program that provides everything: curriculum, teachers, instruction, material, and scheduling in addition to showcasing student artwork throughout the school year. Since its launch, ArtCart has garnered positive feedback from the community, including parents, teachers, administrators, and most importantly, the students.

ArtCart Testimonials
ArtCart Instructor Emily Cook says “I love being an ArtCart teacher because it gives students an opportunity to see that there is no right or wrong way to create art. Art is for everybody!” It is with this same enthusiasm that ArtCart has achieved a joy for learning and creativity in the classroom.
Principals
“Our students and teachers have truly enjoyed the ArtCart program the past few years. The fact is that our teachers have many things they must plan for and execute regarding core subjects, which
is where most of the pressure comes from in every direction. This being said, all students have multiple intelligences and preferences regarding subject areas, which go beyond math and reading to include social studies, science, music and art. I would argue that schools that are able to incorporate art and music as much as possible are more apt to have students that succeed at higher rates in ALL SUBJECTS. Our students’ eyes light up when they do art projects-always have and always will.....we NEED ARTCART as much as possible in all grade levels. Thank you very much for affording our students these awesome opportunities.” – Principal Ubbens, Greenmont Elementary School
“We love ArtCart! Hands on activities that students might not get the chance to experience otherwise!” – Principal Hartshorn,
Blennerhassett Elementary
“We have been very pleased with the ArtCart program. The instructors are knowledgeable, engaging, and prepared. Our students look forward to their ArtCart lesson each week.” – Principal Hardman, Lubeck Elementary School
Teachers
“My students love ArtCart. They look forward to it every week. I have had students that have discovered that they have an
artistic ability through ArtCart lessons. It also gives students a way to excel in something when they are struggling in the classroom. It lets them know that they are good at something, and that school can be fun!” – Britany Graham
“Vienna has been part of the ArtCart program since it began! We couldn't be more thankful and appreciative to all the instructors that have taught our students over the years. Today, several students mentioned and agreed with other classmates that ArtCart was their favorite class along with gym. That's about the highest honor you can get from a student at our school! I have also witnessed students who felt they weren't an artist or good at art, create something that they were so proud of. For the students who don't thrive in academics or sports, ArtCart has been a place to see these students bloom. I am a solid supporter for ArtCart!” –
