Art in Action

Art in Action is a nonprofit organization dedicated since 1982 to bringing a quality visual arts education to K-12 students. Art in Action fosters the educational development and creativity of children across America through innovative visual arts programs and communities.

The Art in Action Program enriches the lives of thousands of students in public and private schools and after school enrichment programs and in homeschools through an engaging, hands-on curriculum that teaches art history, art appreciation, and art techniques. The Art in Action Program is easy to teach and requires no prior art education. Parents, educators, and students are equally excited about this unique program.
