THE COMMUNITY


 The community can indicate approval and it can encourage the art education program by
seeing that every child has an opportunity for art. Some communities actively promote art in
various ways.



 Art festivals can be held, in which children may be invited to
 participate.


 Community art exhibitions can devote a section of the display
 space to work done by children.


 County fairs frequently show children's art work from schools.


 Store window space for displays or arrangements of child art
 products can help to encourage children's art.


 The community can organize evening art classes for adults. Some
 localities have classes for parents, and others have "family nights"
 in which the whole family works with clay, crafts, painting, etc.


 If your community has an art museum or a children' museum,
 are there Saturday art classes? This is a possibility for furthering
 children's creative expression.
