About Partners in Art

The Hillcrest Partners in Art (PIA) program provides parents with the opportunity to visit their child’s classroom to share an overview of a selected artist and guide the class through a hands-on art activity related to the artist. No artistic experience is required – just a desire to have fun with art in the classroom!
