Recommend talented, motivated art students to attend Children's Fine Art Classes (CFAC) with LVA!
Children’s Fine Art Classes are tuition-free, high quality extracurricular art classes taught by professional artist-instructors and made available to all qualified students regardless of their economic status. Learn more about the program here.
Educators, community leaders, and artists can recommend up to four (4) students for CFAC each semester. Previously recommended students do not need additional recommendations to continue in the program. Placement in classes is on a first-come, first-served basis, so earlier recommendation makes it more likely a student will receive their first-choice class.
Each CFAC participant must be at least 9 years old or in 4th grade and be recommended by an art teacher, school principal, community leader (pastor, service club member, elected official, etc.), or local artist who can speak to the student’s motivation and demonstrated ability in visual art. Current CFAC students DO NOT require nomination. Recommendations are for grades 4 through 8. The classes are tuition free (a $365 scholarship), but LVA does ask for an $95 administration fee. If a student is on the Free and Reduced Lunch Program they may waive this fee.
** A recommendation identifies the nominated student as having the potential to perform at a high level in the visual arts, and the maturity to engage with art class activities in a responsible manner that does not disrupt classmates’ participation.
