Breyer says that each year, her advanced class creates a permanent installation as a gift for the school. “My students love creating art and love seeing their work displayed. Our entire campus is like a gallery,” she reports. “I could never have accomplished this year’s project without the ArtSplash grant,” states Breyer, who also serves a volunteer at the annual chalk art and entertainment festival. She is co-coordinator of the Family Art Carnival at the two-day event, which takes place September 26-27, 2009 on Armada Drive in Carlsbad. The event is billed as a community celebration for arts education. Proceeds benefit arts and music programs in North County schools.
ArtSplash Chairperson Joni Miringoff states, “ArtSplash functions as a support to the arts on many levels. This free, family-oriented event gives visitors a chance to view, participate in and purchase art. Then, we give back to the community by offering grants to local schools that enable the spirit of creativity to continue.”
