The Classic Center Cultural Foundation Launches Annual ''A Heart for Art'' Summer Donation Drive

The Classic Center Cultural Foundation is proud to launch its annual community initiative, “A Heart for Art,” running now through July 31, 2026. This summer-long program invites the public to donate art supplies that will be distributed to Clarke County Elementary Schools for use in student creative projects throughout the upcoming school year.

Last year’s “A Heart for Art” campaign allowed the Cultural Foundation to donate 1,400 individual art supplies to Howard B. Stroud Elementary School to use throughout the 2025-2026 academic school year. The “A Heart for Art” donation drive supports the Cultural Foundation’s mission to provide and support performing, visual, and culinary arts programs in the local community.

Suggested Items:

• Crayons
• Children’s paint sets
• Glue sticks
• Washable Markers
• Colored Pencils
• Construction Paper
• Play-Doh
• Sketchbooks
• Child-safe scissors

A donation box for art supplies will be in The Classic Center's lobby. Additionally, supporters can purchase items from The Classic Center Cultural Foundation’s Amazon Wishlist, with all items shipped directly to The Classic Center.
All donations must be received by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, July 31, 2026. The Cultural Foundation team will distribute the collected supplies to the Clarke County Elementary Schools prior to the start of the 2026-2027 school year. Join the Cultural Foundation’s “A Heart for Art” to support creativity and education in our community!
