A Promise to Our Donors

100% of proceeds are used to advance visual arts education for Grand Haven Area Public School students. ​WBMAF is governed by a volunteer board that carefully and responsibly manages all expenditures.
Why Support Visual Arts Education?
Why support visual arts education in the face of so many other societal ​needs?
An ever-increasing number of studies provide compelling evidence that visual arts education improves student achievement across all socio-economic levels. Art education positively affects all students!
Research evidence shows:
● Art education significantly increases academic performance, including higher g.p.a.’s and higher standardized test scores. Specific skills increased by art education include attention for learning, creativity, problem solving, and critical thinking.
● Art education improves at-risk students’ attendance, drop-out rates and academic performance.
● Art education has a positive impact on societal engagement and mental health.
