Art in the Burbs Grants

Every school within our district is eligible for a grant aimed at enhancing their art programs. We are now in the process of accepting and reviewing applications. Further updates will be provided regarding the allocation and utilization of these funds by each school for this year.

We greatly appreciate your continued support and eagerly anticipate the upcoming art show in October 2024!

Local Artists Helping Student Artists

Our art show and festival features a cross section of high-quality hand-made goods from over 90 juried artists.

Art in the Burbs is an event by The Foundation for Tigard Tualatin Schools. Artists donate 20% of their profits to fund grants that support arts education in all 17 district schools.

Support our Organization: We are humbly asking you to support art education in the Tigard Tualatin Schools. If you are unable to attend the show this year, we are always accepting direct donations for our grant programs. Donations can be made here.

Our annual show benefits The Foundation for Tigard Tualatin Schools’ (FTTS’) Art in the Burbs Grant program. Grants are awarded to each of the district’s schools to use only in their Arts programs – music, fine art, and performing art.

Thank you for your loyal support of our show!

We interviewed 10 people about the importance of art in education. All are artists in either music or visual and performing arts, 5 are local public school teachers, 6 are parents and 3 are former students in the Tigard-Tualatin School District.

Here’s a short video clip of what we captured. Look for more of the story – Art in the Burbs: The importance of art in education.
