Project Title: Art on the Move
Project Description:

Art on the Move program, our initiative serving Southern Indiana. This program, at the heart of our mission, offers a creative outlet with a focus on diversity and inclusion and provides a safe space, brings art/culture, and promotes literacy to the forefront. It aligns with our mission goals of strengthen K-12 education and enhance quality of life through arts and culture. Partnering with us will allow AASI to supply Children from our low income/Title one schools with books, art materials. We set up mobile stations throughout Southern Indiana through our Little Free Libraries Program to allow packages of supplies to be delivered to the underprivileged areas. We feel the need could not be greater for the community and we want to do what we can to feel the need for the children.
Art on the Move takes art into the community to provide fun, immersive, and enriching experiences. Since our launch in fall 2019, we aim to reach all corners of our community including schools, assisted living facilities, children’s clubs, community events, and other organizations—regardless of age or ability. Our goal is to provide experiences at no cost, to the participating organizations.
Art on the Move addresses community needs on several levels. At its core, this program aims to bring art back to the community by taking it directly to participants. While there are several options for the community to go view art, we believe the ability to create art should exist without the stress of cost and accessibility. Two of the three counties we serve, Clark and Floyd, have cut 90% of arts programs and youth organizations often have limited time and funds for arts programming—if any. Art on the Move seeks to fill that void
