Providing an art experience for after-school elementary students was a joint project of ArtFest Fort Myers, Edison State College and three pilot elementary schools.
ArtFest provided funding, Edison State College student teachers provided the artistic supervision and inspiration and Heights, Villas and Tropic Isles Elementary Schools were the proving ground for a very successful first year program.
“We were so pleased to give approximately 120 students a fabulous after-school opportunity to explore the arts during the spring semester,” said Sharon McAllister, ArtFest Executive Director.
Holiday themed crafts, mask making, journaling, and creating rain sticks were just a few of the projects that children enjoyed. Pictured is Edison State College student teacher, Lyndsey Kelly with one of her after school artists.
