Reviewers across the country are singing the praises of this book. Here are just some of their comments:

• "The Jumbo Book of Outdoor Art is crammed with great ideas for original art."
• "If your children are fond of whining 'I'm sooo bored!,' hand them [this] great new activity book."
• "This book is a treasure trove of ideas..."

This new addition to the Jumbo Book Family, published by Kids Can Press, promises to be just as successful as its older sister, The Jumbo Book of Art, now in its second printing. Written and illustrated by Arts School faculty member, Irene Luxbacher, with the contributions of art project ideas from teachers at the Arts School, The Jumbo Book of Outdoor Art brings art and nature together in a way that is accessible and enjoyable to both kids and adults.

From projects like Secret Garden and Bizarre Botanicals to Dinosaur Graveyard and Monster Mush, this book, which took over a year to complete, has something for everyone.

Get your copy, hot of the press! Books can be purchased at any book store or at the discounted price of $18.00 (taxes included) at the School office, or by calling 416-961-1502, ext 303, or simply visit our online store.

Since the doors to the Arts School opened in 1993, approximately 800 children have participated in enriching arts programming on scholarship. Under the guidance of professional artists/instructors, who inspire and instruct, these children and teens have discovered a talent inside themselves, which otherwise may have gone untapped.

Until now, the Scholarship Program has been administered by Arts for Children of Toronto. AFC has now decided to focus on Outreach and Camp programs for kids from underserved parts of the city. Establishing a separate scholarship fund has enabled the Arts School to continue this rewarding tradition.

To be eligible for a scholarship, children between the ages of 6 and 18 must show an interest and ability in drama or visual art, as well as demonstrated financial need.

This fund will make it possible for children who otherwise would not be in a position to do so, to develop their talents. If you would like to make a difference in the self-esteem and future accomplishments of a child, consider directing your next donation to the Arts Scholarship Fund.

The easiest way to donate is to visit the Scholarship Fund page on our site or check off the donation box the next time you register for a program at the School, or call the school at 416-961-1502, ext. 303. Stay tuned for upcoming fun and unique fundraising events!
