Our Scholarship Fund
Our SCHOLARSHIP FUND enables us to bring ArtLink programming and workshops to USA classrooms that would not otherwise be able to participate. This opportunity is especially meaningful and empowering for underserved students whose schools are under-resourced. We endeavor, through underwriting, to bring ArtLink to as many students as possible.
