Our Support

goes to the following charitable organizations that provide and support art education for children in Kansas:

 MULVANE ART MUSEUM & ART LAB, Topeka, Kansas

The Mulvane Art Lab serves up children’s art education for free! Yes, FREE! No need to fill out a form, no one-per-hundred kids get scholarships – free, walk-in off of the street art education. Read more on the Mulvane Art Museum website.

 KANSAS ALLIANCE FOR THE ARTS IN EDUCATION

The Kansas Alliance for Arts in Education supports art education for children in Kansas and Art Teachers.  Read more about KSAAE on their website.

You want to join us in supporting these organizations because…

Art is more than fun. Early childhood art education helps kids develop better motor skills sooner, aids in language development, and improves decision making. Americans for the Arts, among others, reports that research shows children who are involved in art and art programs have notably higher academic achievement than children who do not have the opportunity to participate in art programs.

Participating in the creation of art, whether music or visual arts, reduces stress. Prevention Magazine says that helping others also reduces stress! We all need a little more pay it forward and that is what this project is all about.

Everyone involved in the Tree Book Project has donated time and effort to our common goal of raising money for the charitable support of children’s art education in Kansas. We hope that you, as a book lover, tree lover, and art supporter, will join in our cause of raising $25,000 for Mulvane Art Lab & the Kansas Alliance for the Arts in Education
