The Working Artists Forum (WAF), a nonprofit organization of professional working artists based in Easton, is delighted to announce its continued participation in fostering visual art in our local schools through annual cash donations. Each year, a portion of the proceeds from “Local Color” is set aside to supplement art supplies in various elementary schools on the Eastern Shore. Based on the success of this year’s “Local Color”, WAF was able to increase their support by 25% and add two more schools as recipients. Donations each year are made on a rotating basis in an effort to help maintain a strong arts presence in our schools and “keep the creative spark alive.”
Members of WAF visited each of the schools and hand delivered gift cards over the past few months. This year’s award recipients were very appreciative for the extra boost these donations supply. One member reported that after a brief presentation, the students were so happy to receive this gift that they burst into spontaneous applause. Members of WAF truly believe that our teachers and students are an important part of the vibrant art community of the Eastern Shore, and are grateful for the opportunity to assist in their growth and development.
