reative Kids, a non-profit providing children with opportunities for purposeful visual art education, has been making art kits for all its participants in their hospital art program, after school programs in Fabens, and for the Boys and Girls Club during Covid. This includes their newest program which helps children that were directly affected from the August 3rd tragedy. The kits are made each month and are delivered to the various locations. Inside each kit, there are supplies and the lesson plans needed to get them through their program for the month. They are also contacted weekly for virtual art classes.

C“We also have a website we created around COVID (www.makingartpossible. com) that displays their artwork they created from home,” says Creative Kids Executive Director and Co-Founder, Drea Gates-Ingle. “Children can always come back for more instruction during our two-hour classes given on Zoom and Google Meet.” The program is making sure their program participants are not forgotten during these challenging times and that art continues to be an important part of their daily lives.
