Causes: Education
Mission: Art 4 All is a nonprofit organization, founded by 10 year old Alabama Artist, Hannah Walton, whose mission is to provide free art education to ALL children all over rural parts of the United States. Art 4 All also provides free art classes, camps and other art enrichment activities to schools that cannot provide art education. By providing these opportunities, talented future artist will be able to love, learn, nurture and grow in the world of art.
Results: Art 4 All started with a question, "What can I do to help other children reach their dream to become an artist?" So, little 8 year old Hannah Walton called a meeting at her house of city leaders and unveiled her mission. Now age 10 and almost 2 years later, Hannah has made her mission a reality with the founding of Art 4 All. Since February of 2011, Art 4 All has served over 1500 students with over 3,000 students and 12 schools waiting for Art 4 All's programs to reach them. From ages 2 and up, Art 4 All provides many different programs that motivate, inspire, and help create art exploration. Hannah has traveled as far as Washington D.C. to encourage adults to take art education seriously and help to keep art in schools. She is so determined to help other children that she homeschools so that she can ensure the success of Art 4 All. With the help of others, Art 4 All is helping bring youths dreams to life.
