Testimonials

“Art activities with Mr. Brad were highly successful and engaging for members. I noticed a high amount of students that would typically not attend art, work on different art projects and being engaged and allowing them to be creative through the process. Mr. Brad’s art activities opened a new door of art styles to members that they had yet been exposed to. We can’t thank Mr. Brad enough for coming out and teaching our students new and different skills.”

“Our middle school students really enjoyed having Mr. Brad come and do art with them. He was able to get students who normally don’t want to participate in activities to come and join his. They truly enjoyed their Wednesdays having him there. Teachers had even come to us saying how happy they were to see the kids engaged in art!”
