The Traveling Art Gallery (T.A.G.) is an art appreciation program in which volunteers present a different print by a famous artist to kindergarten through fifth grade classrooms at Hosack. This art experience provides all of our elementary students with an additional opportunity to develop “21st century” skills, such as creativity and critical thinking. This program also supplements our existing art education curriculum by introducing the children to more famous artists, styles of art, and different cultures.

We are looking for 4-5 volunteers for each grade level to spend about 20-30 minutes presenting a particular print to the classroom. The schedule is flexible and will be coordinated with the teachers in the particular grade levels as well as our volunteers. Presentation ideas and materials are available to help you with creating your presentation and all art work is housed at Hosack! It’s a wonderful opportunity to help develop a sense of art appreciation among our student and to be able to spend some time interacting in the classroom!

Please reach out to Hosack TAG coordinator, Mark Marsico at mmarsico@comcast.net if you are interested in TAG or with any additional questions.
