A COLLABORATION of city local sponsorship and citizen talent. Allen Art to Go is sponsored by the Allen Arts Alliance and staffed by dedicated community volunteers. Volunteers include parents, grandparents, retired educators, and local business leaders among others.

Allen Art to Go  volunteers visit elementary school classrooms once a month.  The volunteers bring with them a portfolio of artwork chosen around a chosen theme for the month.  The volunteers leads a discussion with the students about the artwork, the theme, and what it means to them.
