💛 In the recent fires, many students and teachers have lost musical instruments, dance shoes, paint palettes, weaving tools, and other creative essentials. At the same time, we’re hearing from many people who want to help.

🎨 So we've assembled an Eastern Washington Arts Recovery Project webpage with simple forms to help with:
-Donating arts supplies or funds
-Requesting replacement arts materials for students and educators

📍 We’re currently focusing on Eastern Washington, with Shadle Park High School (north Spokane) as the dedicated drop‑off and pick‑up point. We’re also in conversation with educators in central Washington to explore additional pick‑up locations as needs emerge.

If you are a student or teacher who lost your beloved arts materials, we hope you’ll let this community help restore some of them for you.

If you have instruments, art supplies, or funds to share, please visit the project page and take a moment to fill out the donation form.
