Art Cards and MORE!
This year, in addition to the art show, we will be introducing a new way for you to showcase artwork made by your child. Artsonia is an online site that can print your child’s artwork on a number of items: note cards, magnets, canvases, water bottles, coasters, mugs, and much, much more! Volunteers have spent the year photographing your children’s artwork and we are excited for you to see what Artsonia has to offer. The site is now live and you can view, share and create fun, personalized products with your child’s artwork for family and friends. Visit www.artsonia.com to see samples of the many products they offer.
