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.
***For any of you who have requested items from the teacher’s closet, please send us some art from your group for our newly created TEACHERS CLOSET GALLERY. This will allow us to see all of the wonderful work you are doing with the students and it will be helpful when procuring funding to sustain this valuable resource into the future.

Introducing this year’s cultural theme for the 2026-2027 FAME Festival:
Where ancient roots meet a modern world, Japan is home to some of the most influential works of art throughout history and continues to be a leading example. The culture of Japan is well known around the world, especially as seen in animation, cuisine, fashion, films and video games.
We’re so excited to see all the artwork inspired by Japan at the FAME Festival in 2027!
