Dahl said she hopes the Fall Art Boxes will provide an enjoyable learning experience for students who are grappling with the new approaches to education brought about by the health crisis.
“Since many children are having a differ- ent school experience this year, whether it is home-schooling, virtual learning or a combina- tion of virtual and in-person [classes], we want them to have this art box to inspire creativity and provide a fun and exciting activity,” she said.
Another set of art boxes will be available this winter, she said, adding that the Winter Art Box will feature seasonal and holiday-themed projects, and the 12-plus version will include a bullet journal and creative ideas for making a 2021 planner.
e BAAC initially constructed 50 of each Fall Art Box and may create more kits if demand warrants them, Dahl said. e Fall Art Boxes are sponsored by Citizens Bank, and the Summer Art Boxes were sponsored by e John Herman Hickman Foundation.
e Fall Art Boxes cost $40 each. Free pickup is available at the BAAC Gallery on Main at 226 E. Main St. in Batesville, and shipping is available for an additional $8 per box.
To learn more about the program or to order an art box, visit the classes and work- shops page of BAAC’s website, batesvilleareaarts council.org.
