2010 SAF
In 2010, we heard you, and the SAF is working
on...
-
developing an arts grant program for teachers that will provide needed
funds for creative endeavors supporting the progress and benefits of the
arts to our youth. These grants will be available in the fall. Stay
tuned as we make these Art Grants available!
-
a youth arts based calendar at
www.ArtsGoForward.com, currently being developed and will link to
the SAF website under Links. This site will promote youth art programs
and resources locally, and will eventually provide direction and
resources for further education in the arts. Look for
www.ArtsGoForward.com on "Links" soon!
“Technical Creatives” who would like to help can contact
pmarron@tampabay.rr.com.
-
Our continued relationships with TBBCA.org, colleges and other
supporters that see the value of the arts in business and supporting our
youth.
2009 SAF
The 2009 SAF funds were being used to promote elementary art where there have
been cuts due to lack of funding in Pasco County.
2008 SAF
The 2008 SAF raised funds that were used to send fifty 11th - 12th graders
to the Ringling College of Art and Design for "Portfolio Day", where 53
national arts colleges review works of aspiring art students in a variety of
creative fields.
2007 SAF
The 2007 show raised enough funds for five "Art to Go" teaching trunks full
of visual and perforing arts resources. These trunks can be used by all
Pasco county schools and trunk themes are:
-
Modern Art: including books, videos, posters,
sculptures and mobiles.
-
Printmaking: including books, videos, lesson plans, Gyotaku fish print
models, brayers and ink trays.
-
Theater: Viola Spolin - Theater Game File, on stage theater games,
activities for kids, props (all from Spolin Collection).
-
Egypt: Artifacts
-
Native American Art
2005 SAF
In 2005, fine artist Christopher Still along with our organization made a
presentation of ten of his murals depicting Florida history. These
framed prints along with interactive audio CD’s and teacher lessons were
placed in a “traveling tub” that can be used by all Pasco County Schools
both public and private, K-12. The original murals currently
hang in the House of Representatives located in Tallahassee, Florida.
Pasco County school board members, art teachers, students and the public
were invited to Longleaf Elementary School for this presentation.
