Transform Art Education, For AllAs we reflect on the incredible journey of Artists for Kids (AFK) over the last 36 years, we’re reminded of the profound impact that art has on young minds. Thanks to the continued generosity of supporters like you, the Gordon and Marion Smith Foundation for Young Artists has been able to empower countless students, foster creativity, and deepen our community’s connection to art. Your support makes this possible. In 2025, we aim to build upon the successes of past years and further enrich our arts education programming. Whether it’s providing scholarships for children to attend our popular Summer Camp in Paradise Valley, facilitating hands-on workshops that connect students with practicing artists, or curating world-class exhibitions at the Gordon Smith Gallery of Canadian Art, we are creating vital, lifelong learning opportunities for audiences, where education is never an afterthought, but rather the driving force behind our programming. With your help, we can continue to foster creativity and support young artists on their journey from discovery to self-expression. All donations over $25 are eligible for a tax receipt. Due to the ongoing Canada Post strike, we encourage you to make your contributions through our safe and secure online donation form, or contact us at (604) 998-8563 to process your donation over the phone. This ensures your support reaches us promptly and without interruption. By making a contribution today, you ensure that programs like the Artist-in-Residence, educational tours, and art workshops remain accessible to children, especially those from equity-deserving communities. Your gift allows us to reach even more students with our inclusive, dynamic arts education initiatives. We are grateful for your continued support, which allows us to reach new heights and inspire future generations of Canadian artists. Together, we can ensure that the arts remain an integral part of education for years to come. Thank you for your generosity and your commitment to nurturing the creative spirits of tomorrow.
