A quality education should include courses that teach students self-expression through the visual and performing arts.  Students gain confidence in these subjects, and this confidence is invaluable to them for their success in other subject areas as well.

Many teachers receive an allotted budget that is too small for purchasing the necessary materials for teaching class and must use money out of their own pockets to supplement what they need.  And then there are some art teachers who do not even get a budget.  We feel this is due to a lack of understanding as to the significance of the Arts in the educational process.

So to this end, the THEA Foundation’s Thea’s Art Closet program is designed to help provide adequate art supplies for public school art teachers.  We hope to create public awareness that will move this issue into higher priorities in the education system of Arkansas.
