ARTreach Studio Program fills a special need in the community
ARTreach is seeking additional sponsors for our studio programs serving adults with special needs, including the ARTreach Art & Business Program that teaches ARC of Katy participants how to create functioning art items, ceramics, note cards and silk screened tee-shirts that can be sold to create income for other projects and important needs. "These programs are teaching valuable life skills and are so enriching," says Rosemary Petter, Director for ARC's Day Program, "our participants look very forward to the ARTreach classes being provided every week.
The ARTreach Studio is located inside Ceramics by Tess at 402 W.Grand Parkway in Katy, 77494. Demand for these ARTreach programs as well as free ceramic and clay making workshops for residents in assisted living communities are rising. ARTreach is seeking additional sponsors of our weekly studio workshops that invite the medical care community and residents of assisted living communities to attend the ARTreach Studio for free weekly art lessons, clay and ceramic classes. These are creative field trips and social opportunities for elderly and Alzheimer's patients staffed by ARTreach professional teaching artists and trained volunteers.
ARTreach does not charge participants to attend these classes. ARTreach fundraisers assure that the classes are free. The organization works hard to provide opportunities for many people to experience the arts as a part of their daily life.
ARTreach Programs are made possible thanks to donations from businesses and individuals who recognize the impact the arts can have on a person's well-being and that everyone deserves an opportunity to experience the arts.
Become an ARTreach Program Sponsor today and help keep these programs growing!
ARTreach Studio programs for adults with special needs and elderly and Alzheimer's have been made possible thanks to donations from Clint and Kathy Capshaw of Cinco Ranch, Charles Schwab Matching Gift Program, Chris and Bill Hicks, Living Word Church, Exxon Mobil Foundation and Tess Thornton of Ceramics by Tess. .
All levels of sponsorship are appreciated. A donation of $8 per person per week is needed to help ARTreach raise $1,500 per month to cover the current number of participants.

"Exploring both the heart of the American music industry and its creative hinterlands Bridger chronicles an artistic journey filled with possibility and innovation, challenges and risks. The development of Bobby Bridger's ethical commitment to his music and painting is nothing short of inspiring, and he tells the tale through a self-reflection as honest and creative as the new forms he has crafted in his art and career. Bridger is a national treasure. This book explains how and why".
