School Art Days
Independence and Round Valley
This past March, ICA hosted two School Art Days in Independence for K-6 students and in Round Valley for K-5 students with 60+ students at each school. School Art Days are fun-filled days of art activities presented entirely free of charge and during school hours at Inyo County schools.
Modeled after our Community Art Days, our School Art Days bring art directly to students in the comfort of their schools. We look forward to holding School Art Days for K-5 Lone Pine and Bishop students in April and May for a total of 8 school presentations this school year. We have already secured funding to continue this fun program next school year!
School Art Days are possible in part because of our partners the Inyo County Office of Education and Inyo County Probation.

This program is intended to support a broad spectrum of artists working in all disciplines, from diverse geographies and communities of all sizes across California.
