About Art from the Heart
In 2008, parents of students enrolled at Mary B. Austin Elementary School set out to prioritize arts education for their students. With a desire to ensure every child at Mary B. Austin receive weekly art instruction, the parents hosted the first annual “Art from the Heart” student art show and fundraiser.
In the twelve years since its inception, Art from the Heart has successfully raised the funds necessary to ensure every child at Mary B. Austin can develop his or her artistic abilities and experience first hand how fun the arts can be!
The Mobile County Public School System generously provides weekly art instruction for 3rd - 5th graders during the first semester of the school year. Art from the Heart helps bridge the gap in funds provided by MCPSS and make weekly art instruction and supplies available to ALL students in grades K-5 for the full school year.
The faculty, staff, and parents who make up the Mary B. Austin family believe whole-heartedly in the importance of arts education for our students and are seeking to raise $30,000 through a fun, adults-only evening featuring a student art show, live and silent auction, and heavy hors d’oeuvres.
The Mary B. Austin Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is a volunteer-run 501(c)3 organization.
