EDUCATION PROGRAMS
Peninsula Arts Association works with local teachers to bring exciting art programs into class. Art supplies,
helping hands and art education lectures combine in a win-win situation for area students. PAA helps with presentation
of student art for exhibition and is ready to bring programs for all ages to local libraries as well. This area
of Art Enrichment has seen enormous growth in recent years. PAA will host an art auction of over 70 original paintings,
by former member Marcia Rockwell, this year. Ms. Rockwell's family donated the works to PAA to help establish
initial funds for the Art Enrichment program. Date to be determined.
