Sponsor SMARTS Today!
For many students, SMARTS provides their only opportunity to experience the arts. Thousands of children in our community have limited or no access to visual arts, music, dance, theater, and creative writing during the school day. Through SMARTS, students receive high-quality instruction, with the use of supplies, materials, and instruments at no cost, removing barriers and creating opportunities for creativity, confidence, and personal growth.
Your sponsorship makes this possible. By investing in SMARTS, you help ensure that every child has access to transformative arts experiences that inspire learning, self-expression, and success.
We invite you to join us in reaching our $60,000 fundraising goal and making a lasting impact on the lives of local students. Together, we can continue providing free arts education and expanding opportunities for children throughout the Mahoning Valley.
