Fort Bend- Sugar Land TX- ARTreach is expanding programs serving children at risk in the Greater Fort Bend County area, thanks to a partnership with Young Audiences of Houston, and generous donations by community-involved corporations like Baker Petrolite, with main offices in Sugar Land.
ARTreach www.artreachonline.org and Young Audiences of Houston www.yahouston.org are collaborating to bring Judy Kang, professional violinist from New York and on tour in Houston in February, to the 5th grade students at Mission West Elementary School in Fort Bend ISD.
This is an ARTreach program that supports equal access to the arts in the Fort Bend school districts. ARTreach supports campuses with little or no PTA involvement, and will provide volunteers and funds to bring cultural arts and fine art assemblies to under-served student populations. ARTreach seeks donations from local businesses and corporations and partners with art organizations like Young Audiences of Houston to help make sure no child is left behind in the arts.
Judy Kang’s presentation is made possible thanks to Young Audience of Houston Assistance Fund, The Fort Bend Partnership for Youth, and Baker Petrolite, a division of Baker Hughes Incorporated
Mission West Elementary located at 7325 Clodine-Reddick Road, Houston TX 77083. Judy Kang’s Presentation, “Me and My Violin” will be held on February 4th at 10:30 a.m.
