The valuable workshops delivered by artsREACH to the many children who might not otherwise be able to afford a quality arts education, are made possible by the generous support of the following:
Grants for the 2011/12 School Year
BC Gaming*
Queen Alexandra Foundation for Children
Van Tel/Safeway Credit Union Legacy Fund
RBC Foundation
APM Fund for Children and the Arts through the Victoria Foundation
Supporters:
Carollyne Yardley
Carollyne has generously supported the artsREACH program by pledging $100 and 10% of the proceeds on items sold at the opening event of her arts show, The Secret Squirrel (May 1, 2011).
Madison Hooson
Eight year-old Madison decided to donate a generous 50% of her proceeds to a local charity. She chose the artsREACH program due to her love of artistic expression and her utter disapproval that other children could not so easily access the means for such expression.
