CherryArts is an art-focused nonprofit that provides access to art experiences and supports arts education for all in Colorado. We work all year long to integrate art in the classroom by providing a variety of art education programs to more than 40,000 Colorado students each year. Each summer, we host the Cherry Creek Arts Festival, one of the country’s largest art festivals, which showcases both worldwide and local artists.

Your donations make it possible for CherryArts to run a growing medley of year-round art programming with the goal of enriching peoples’ lives with art and art experiences. These programs include a mobile art gallery, the annual student art buying program, an initiative that gives Colorado students the opportunity to buy art for permanent installation in their schools, and art kits delivered to students and seniors, especially in under-served areas. It’s through this kind of programming that we are able to help support artists and arts education.
CherryArts is excited to partner with HR Meininger to bring high quality art supplies to students throughout Colorado with Art Kits! These kits will provide students with the tools they need to explore their creativity and develop their artistic talents. For every Art Kit purchased, we will donate one to a student. Help us give the gift of arts education to students in Colorado!
