I Heart Art

Keeping the Future Bright and Colorful

Art enrichment activities help children use their imaginations in a free-learning environment while building social skills, self-esteem and creative expression. Art programs have been shown to increase a child’s test scores in various subjects, including reading, science and math.

At the Y, we believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. To keep up with the increasing demand for our arts and humanities programs, we hosted the second annual I Heart Art - a drive to collect new, packaged art supplies for enrichment activities for kids.

During the two-week drive, members, guests and program participants donated thousands of art supplies for the Y’s PrYme Time and KidZone programs across the First Coast.

Together with the community’s support, the Y’s art enrichment activities give children the guidance and encouragement they need to become a confident kid today and a healthier, happier grown-up tomorrow.
