Heather Aston

Monday concluded the three day grade 7 enrichment program for the first term. Students from around North Vancouver worked with artist Heather Aston on painting and print making. The students were fantastic and the work they produced was remarkable. Well, see for yourself!

Welcome to our blog.

We hope you become a frequent visitor to our blog. This will be the place to find out how we are doing and WHAT we are up to. This photo of Gordon Smith working with senior students is just an example of the great things that happen at Artists for Kids.

What is Artists for Kids?

The Artists for Kids Trust was established in 1989 through a generous partnership among some of Canada's finest artists and the North Vancouver School District. Its mission, through the sale of original prints created by its artist patrons (see links, below), is to build an art education legacy for the children of British Columbia. The AfK Gallery is home to a stunning collection of work created by its patrons. AfK provides a variety of art enrichment program opportunities for thousands of students of all ages each year, including the popular Paradise Valley Summer School of Visual Art.
