What I like about The Imagine Bus Project is that it keeps you busy… instead of running around driving your parents crazy you get to draw and paint and color. You can even do homework if you have to. I like it when other people look at my art. It's fun.

MISSION STATEMENT
The Imagine Bus Project helps break the isolation many inner-city children face by introducing them to the wonders of art. The Project keeps kids off the streets, helps build their self-esteem, makes them better students, and contributes to healthier families in more creative communities.

PROGRAMS
The Imagine Bus Project partners with under-resourced programs serving low-income children and youth in San Francisco, Sonoma and Main counties to offer long-term sequential high quality art classes which are culturally sensitive and informative, engaging and expansive. At each site a lead artist and assistant conduct one-hour classes each week.
