The Flint classroom support fund with the wonderful participation of the Flint Institute of ARTS education department through the Bishop Trust is providing a great opportunity for the budding artists students of the Flint Community schools.
The Bishop Trust has most graciously donated $13,000 for the purpose of bring art back to the Flint Community Schools through the Flint Classroom Support Fund. Today, Tuesday, April 9, Art Carts will be distributed to each City of Flint Public School by the Flint Classroom Support Fund. These Art Carts are stocked full of art supplies and art instruction books. The carts were gratefully prepared by the Educational School of the Flint Institute of Art.
We are hopeful that great student artists will be sustained and energized from each cart provided by the Bishop Trust!
