A
CELEBRATION of the visual arts focusing on elementary school students. Allen Art to Go is an art appreciation
program which exposes over 5000 Allen school children and adults to great works of art every month.
An EXPLORATION
of what is seen with one's eyes, as well as with one's heart and intellect. Students use not only their eyes but also
their intellect and heart to put into words thoughts about what a work of art means on a personal level.
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.
