Art for kids fund
continues to grow

NORTH VANCOUVER
District 44 school trustees
were briefed Tuesday night
on the progress of the ‘‘Ar-
tists for Kids’? (4FK) trust
fund, which was set up two
years ago by administrator
Bill MacDonald.

By Kevin Gillies
Contributing Writer

The AFK trust fund is a coop-
erative effort between the District
44 board and Canadian artists to
provide support for the fine arts
in North Vancouver elementary
and secondary schoals and the
community.

Fine arts include visual arts,
music, drama, and dance.

The trust currently has assets —
including prints at current market
value — in excess of $1.3 million.

Artists donate a master copy of
one of their works to the trust.
The AFK then produces a number
of prints from the master and sells
them.

All proceeds from the sales go
into the trust which District 44
uses to improve its arts cur-
ticulum. .

The trust’s primary objectives
are:

@ to provide ongoing fine arts
enrichment opportunities for
elernentary and secondary students
in North Vancouver schools;

®@ to provide scholarships to stu-
dents who excel in the fine arts;

@ to provide educational oppor-
tunities in the fine arts for the
community at large;

NORTH VANCOUVER
SCHOOL BOARD

@ and to generate a collection: of
the best Canadian art for the local!
community.

The money generated by the’
AFK trust fund is used: for student
visits to artists’ studios and art:
galleries,

It also helps bring artists. into
the schools to offer specialized
classes.

To date, 17 artists or their rep-
resentatives from across the coun-
try have agreed to become patrons
of the trust fund and contribute to”
the enterprise.

The artists from seven provinces
