ABOUT PROJECT ARTstART
Launched in the fall of 2011, Project ARTstART recruits high school and college students as teachers and mentors. These “ARTstARTers” are trained as docents by college mentors to offer multi-visit arts appreciation lessons to elementary students in their classrooms and in local museum settings. ARTstARTers learn how to plan presentations that employ Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) and interact with art educators, artists, curators, and students from The Claremont Colleges.
The program is funded by generous donations from the Ruth & Joseph C. Reed Foundation for the Arts; City of Claremont, Community Based Organizational Grant; Claremont Sunrise Rotary; Claremont Kiwanis Foundation; Scripps Fine Arts Foundation; as well as CLMA Board members and many dedicated community donors.
Partner programming for this year was provided by American Museum of Ceramic Art (AMOCA); Benton Museum of Art at Pomona College; California Botanic Garden; Claremont Heritage; The Claremont Colleges Services; dA Center for the Arts, Pomona; The Peggy Phelps Gallery at Claremont Graduate University Studio Arts; Ruth Chandler Williamson Gallery at Scripps College; The Sam and Alfreda Maloof Foundation for Arts and Crafts, and The Susan Sontag Center for Creative Collaboration ‘The HIVE’ at Pomona College.
