THIS DIRECT SUPPORT COVERS FIVE PROGRAM AREAS: CHILDREN'S FINE ART, ADULT STUDIO CLASSES, EXHIBITIONS, PROJECT LOOK! (AN INQUIRY BASED MUSEUM EDUCATION PROGRAM FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN FROM THROUGHOUT THE REGION), AND THE ART CENTER'S VOLUNTEER PROGRAM
EVENTS, INCLUDING GREAT GLASS PUMPKIN PATCH, A COLLABORATION WITH THE BAY AREA GLASS INSTITUTE, IS A UNIQUE PROGRAM THAT SERVES GLASS ARTISTS FROM THROUGHOUT THE REGION. A FOUR-DAY EXHIBITION OF THOUSANDS OF GLASS PUMPKINS SERVES AS THE BASIS FOR PROJECT LOOK!

1. CULTURAL KALEIDOSCOPE IS AN ARTS EDUCATION PROGRAM THAT PAIRS ARTISTS WITH K-5 CLASSROOMS IN PALO ALTO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT AND EAST PALO ALTO'S RAVENSWOOD SCHOOL DISTRICT.

THE PROGRAM CULMINATES IN A PUBLIC EXHIBITION OF STUDENT ARTWORK AT THE PALO ALTO ART CENTER. 2. THE STUDIO SALE SERVES A UNIQUE AND HIGHLY DISTINGUISHED GROUP OF ARTISTS WORKING IN A RANGE OF DISCIPLINES, INCLUDING JEWELRY DESIGN, CERAMICS AND TEXTILES.
