Bellingham Family Partnership Program

A few spots are still free in Monday’s camp for 5-7yr olds and the following week for 8-12yr olds. We will make collaborative art and cook together during these enriching classes! Sign up by emailing [email protected]. Details are at the website: https://www.tinyonioncookingschool.com/classes

OH THE POSSIBILITIES!!!

For our local Art Walk, students are invited to submit one piece of art that will be displayed in the window of a local business from May 7th-20th.

Need inspiration for an art walk submission? Or are you looking to do some art just for the joy of it? Volunteer Christina Miller has put together a Zentangle Art Lesson for us! https://bellingham.wistia.com/medias/uelxlloslj

Have fun creating!

Submissions may be dropped off at BFPP during normal materials pick-up times, Wednesday April 28th or Wednesday May 5th.

Guidelines for submissions:
1) We are able to accept ONE piece per student
2) We are set up to accept 2D submissions of 5x7 to 11x17. If you have a student with a piece that does not fall within that description, please contact Lisa or Taylor. We may be able to accommodate other types of pieces if we are aware of them in advance.
3) Please include Student’s Name, Grade Level, Title, and Medium either on the back of the piece or on a separate sheet AND
4) We strongly suggest student’s 2D art be submitted in a folder, (or some type of protective enclosure) with parent/guardian’s contact info on the outside. This will protect the artwork and simplify the process of picking it up after the show ends.

Please contact BFPP parent volunteers Lisa Spreyer or Taylor Mohr with questions.
