Our Needs
The Visual Arts Guild helps the students and faculty of Booker T. Washington High School by defraying the high cost of studying the arts by:
- Assisting the art department faculty by paying for art supplies not covered by the school budget - supplies for which they otherwise might pay out of their own pockets
- Replacing worn out equipment such as plasma cutters, welders and table saws
- Providing spot-grants for students with immediate needs for school-related purchases
- Updating technology
- Sponsoring enrichment activities and master classes
- Offering scholarships to graduating seniors
Current conservatory needs include hardware, wood, casting materials, resin, toner cartridges, weaving looms, yarn, drawing boards and canvases, kilns, displays, mason jars, sponges, and hand cleaner for printmaking cleanup.
