Community h'Art
Nourishing each child's appetite for art one project at a time.

An extension of our larger artREACH program, Community h'Art is designed to offer an educational experience in the visual arts to children grades K-8.

Private and public schools, home-school groups and after-school organizations are eligible to participate. The program is offered from November to May and by special appointment at all other times of the year.

Community h’Art offers teachers and organization leaders the flexibility to choose between two types of visits: Dine In in which your group comes to us and includes a brief lecture and tour of our gallery, or Delivery in which we send a qualified instructor to lead a hands-on art project in your classroom. A project "menu" is available for each type of visit and are representative of a variety of media.

All visits are honored on a first-come-first-served basis.
Please limit your visit to a maximum of 40 students.

HELP FUND THIS PROGRAM!
We strongly believe this is a program our community needs. We want to see it continue, but we can't do it without your help.
A donation of $1 per child helps fund the program, allowing it to continue in the future.

Interested in volunteering for this wonderful program? Contact Erin Robert, Education Coordinator, at erobert@peoriaartguild.org or 309.637.2787.

artREACH

The Peoria Art Guild is dedicated to helping the youth of our community succeed. One of the ways we can realize this goal is through "artREACH." Currently we work with children from more than ten social service agencies and public schools including:
Fondulac Library, Arts Place, Planned Parenthood, the Dreamcenter and Southside Mission
.
By using art to help these children express themselves, they develop self-esteem and problem solving skills and, most importantly, a sense of accomplishment to help put them on the road to a successful future.

By teaching children to express themselves through art, they learn to discover who they are as well as find a way to reach for their dreams.

Your donation to the artREACH program will enrich the lives of Peoria's youth. Call The Peoria Art Guild today, 309.637.2787, to support artREACH.
