Teton Arts Council presents
ART-REACH bringing art into our classrooms
The aim of ArtReach is to support area schools in providing art education to its students. Art is a critical component of every child's educational experience. It contributes to whole brain development and teaches cooperative learning, problem solving, and self-direction as well as an appreciation for art in and of itself. In art class there is no right or wrong answer and all ideas are valid; a welcome part of anyone's day!
The Teton Arts Council has created several art kits for classroom use.
Each kit comes with art supplies for 30 students at a time, optional lesson plans, and a real live resident artist to implement the lesson, if so desired.
This is a flexible program that is extremely user friendly with many advantages for the teacher:
* Art kits can be used just for their materials.
* Art kits can come with specific lesson plans which anyone can implement--teachers or parent volunteers.
* All lesson plans are suitable for Grades K-6.
* The Teton Arts Council can provide a volunteer artist to come into the classroom.
* Lessons can be suited to any time frame, including multi-day units.
* Teachers are encouraged to contact the Teton Arts Council so we can create art lessons to fit your unit of study.
Currently, we have kits for drawing, painting, and printmaking.
Each art kit includes a variety of materials to keep lessons fresh and exciting so that the kit can be used several times without repeating the same lesson.
Please contact the Teton Arts Council to schedule an art lesson in your classroom. Contact Info:

New Art Center
The Teton Arts council is working hard to create an arts center in downtown Driggs. A central location with easy access for children and adults will help us to better serve the community. We anticipate that this center will be a thriving cultural hub that offers artistic education and opportunity to all valley residents. Please help us design this center by taking this quick survey. Your feedback is very valuable to us.

We are equally grateful for the countless members of our community that have stepped up to the plate to volunteer time, talent, and sometimes a little money of their own.
