During shelter-in-place, our grantee, Art in Action, provided individual art materials and taught virtual art lessons to eighth grade girls at Aspire Phoenix Academy in East Palo Alto. These art projects enhanced students’ distance learning in core curricula and offered a safe space allowing calmness and self-expression. Staff found that continuing with the virtual art lessons provided normalcy and stability to the children during an unsettling time in their lives and communities.
