Art Encounters is a unique program that brings professional artists onto the Kenwood School campus for direct encounters with the students. It is also intended to fairly compensate the artists for their time and efforts.

 

During the school year 2014-15 the following encounters took place on the school campus.

In addition to individual donations and a percentage of my art sales proceeds, a major source of funds needed to buy art supplies and pay the artists comes from art sales related to the program. The artworks included HERE were each created and donated to support the program with 100% of their purchase price directed to the budget for Art Encounters.
