The ArtCycle Program

Help Support our Art Students!

The Hillsborough Arts Council (HAC) will continue its volunteer driven ArtCycle Program during the pandemic to meet the need for art supplies. Orange County Schools is now offering online instruction and ArtCycle will make donated art supplies available to art teachers and to their students who are studying from home. 

The pandemic and concern about spreading the virus make it more difficult to collect and distribute art supplies. To avoid risks and increase donations, HAC has partnered with the OCS Director of the Arts, Shannon Braxton. 

OCS and HAC have worked together to create the public Amazon "wishlist" where area residents can purchase items to be sent directly to the teachers.
