Our mission is to build an organized effort that connects the creative energy of the Las Vegas community with kids in the Clark County School District in order to enrich their exposure to the arts and improve their education experience.
Art can change a child’s life.  Studies* show that young people who participate in the arts are:

  • More likely to be recognized for academic achievement
  • More likely to be elected to class office within their schools
  • More likely to participate in a math and science fair
  • More likely to win an award for school attendance

Now, more than ever, the schools need your support!  The Artists 4 Kidz initiative connects the nearly 311,000 students in the Clark County School District, specifically those who do not have significant exposure to the arts, to entertainers and community arts leaders from Las Vegas and around the world. 

We invite you to join the Public Education Foundation and The Clint Holmes Foundation in this venture to inspire and improve the lives of children in our community.  Together, we can make a difference!
