TNAS Resident Artist to Full-Time Art Teacher at Norwalk High School

A Safe Space for Students to Create and Thrive

For the Fall 2022 semester, we expanded from 4 to 5 weekly classes and now offer middle school classes. Thanks to our partnerships with the Carver Foundation and the Norwalk Public Schools, all of our classes are filled. To date, we have had nearly 250 students participate in our free classes. A snapshot of our student demographics:

54% have never taken an art class outside of school
71% with household income below the Norwalk median of $86,000 per year
67% BIPOC/Hispanic/Middle Eastern/Asian/mixed race, 26% White
60% female, 5% nonbinary
