Teacher’s Closet
FAME has created a Closet of art supplies and materials for area teachers to access when they are under-resourced for their own classrooms. The Closet is located in the FAME office. It consists of the most commonly used art supplies such as crayons, colored markers, paints, colored pencils, paper, brushes, scissors, and molding clay.
There is also a selection of musical instruments available on loan for teachers to borrow for use in their classrooms.
We ask teachers to complete an application describing the reason they are applying, the project they will be doing, the supplies and materials they need, and the date materials are needed. This will allow FAME to ensure resources are available to a broad range of schools throughout the region. It will also allow teachers to request additional or special items that might not be in the inventory of the Closet. We will review the applications and notify the teachers as to their acceptance. The applications for the Closet are below**-
Teacher’s Closet – Musical Instruments
Teacher’s Closet – Art Supplies
Or you can apply online at Teacher’s Closet.
**Teacher’s Closet requests are not guaranteed. Due to the high volume of requests all submissions will be evaluated once monthly and teachers notified once a decision is made. Please note that requests may also be modified to ensure fairness in distribution of support.
A little information about the FAME Festival
FAME, the Foundation for Art and Music in Elementary Education, was founded in 1986 with the belief that elementary and middle school students need special opportunities outside of school to create, exhibit and perform works of art. What started as the FAME Festial in 1987 is now an acclaimed year-round arts education program for students. Since the first festival in March 1987, FAME has been the largest single event at the Grand Wayne Center.
This year, FAME is celebrating the 38th FAME Festival with
- “Tides and Tales,” Caribbean countries: Cuba, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico
.If this is your first or 38th time participating in the FAME Festival… we are so glad you’re here!
