"What would we do without the Euphrat? Our schoolchildren learn so much when they go to the museum and when Euphrat Artist/Teachers come here. The staff and artists are helpful, sensitive, and inspiring. I look forward to more collaboration with this wonderful institution."
| Dale Jones, Nimitz Elementary School Principal |

School District elementary and middle schools. Around

Arts & Schools
Program Community Exhibitions and Events
enables elementary school students to grow in self-esteem
through public recognition of their work. We have
placed rotating exhibits throughout the year at
elementary and middle schools, the Sunnyvale Library,
the Cherry Blossom Festival in Cupertino, and other
community venues. An estimated 11,000 people viewed
these exhibitions.
Annual Collaborative
Art Project addresses community themes. For
example, the art project Keeping
the Dream Alive: Fair Housing for All received
awards from Project Sentinel, a fair housing advocacy
organization, and is currently on display at Sunnyvale
City Hall.
New Partnership with the Quinlan Community Center in Cupertino, began in September 2003, offered after-school and weekend art classes for children and youth year-round.
