Working to encourage children to lead lives
of expression, imagination, and hope.

In a 2002 survey by noted public opinion analyst Louis Harris, mentoring and tutoring programs were asked what educational tools other than books would be most useful in enhancing a child's education. The number one choice was art supplies. First Artists was created in response to this need. First Artists is a national nonprofit dedicated to inspiring creative expression by providing art supplies to children from low-income families.

To test the First Artists concept, we ran a very successful pilot program in December 2002, distributing more than 58,000 art projects around the country. To learn more about this pilot, click here. We are now expanding First Artists to bring even more art supplies to the children who need them nationwide.

As First Artists grows, there are many ways to get involved.
