Support the future of the arts in the Tigard-Tualatin area
Art in the Burbs was purposefully and creatively designed to weave local artists with student artists. 20% of each artist’s sales will be retained to benefit The Foundation for Tigard Tualatin Schools’ (FTTS’) Art in the Burbs Grant program. Grants are awarded to each of the district’s schools to use only in their Arts programs – writing, music, fine art, and performing arts. FTTS is a 501(c)3 organization.
Art in the Burbs provides a financial vehicle to enrich students’ lives through the arts. Click here to see how proceeds from last year’s show were used.
The Foundation for Tigard Tualatin Schools
Mission Statement: The Foundation for Tigard Tualatin Schools is a non-profit organization that:
- Advocates for, and raises awareness about, the importance of strong schools in our community.
- Offers support equally to all schools in our district through fundraising, creating learning opportunities, and building partnerships within the community.
Our Art in the Burbs partnership allows us to intentionally connect student artwork to student learning. In 2016 this helped our kids learn about John Audubon’s work and metal fabrication’s role in sculpture. This led to an awesome project that we’ll be able to display for years to come.
