By engaging in creative processes, students deepen their understanding of both academics and the arts, making learning more dynamic and meaningful.

The Discovery Place! 🧬 The interactive museum closed in 2023, but provided lifetime memories for so many local families. From dressing up in the pioneer play area to talking through a can communication system, children were able to immerse themselves in history, science and culture. We are happy to display this piece of beautiful, interactive Texarkana History

Today's the day! It's 💛

Art brings us together and helps us see the world in a new way. It enriches our schools, empowers our youth and gives voices to all stories. Art is for everyone, and we want it to be accessible for ALL of our community members!

"Art is the best possible introduction to the culture of the world. I love it for the buried hopes, the garnered memories, the tender feeling it can summon at a touch. It washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life." - Pablo Picasso

Join us in making a difference - because when the arts thrive, our community does too! Every donation, big or small, makes an impact.
