Art Odyssey Arizona is passionate about connecting amazing volunteers with deserving schools. Through background checks, training and mentoring, we strategically place the best volunteers with your class.

Our Programs

Our programs equip your k-6 students with the art materials, supplies and volunteers to observe, analyze, discuss and interact with art. In addition to the art work your students get to experience talking in front of groups, boosting their critical thinking, and applying concepts by creating their own art.

FAQ's for Educators

Have questions about bringing our programs into your classroom? Be sure to look through out FAQ's before you send us a message.

Are your volunteers background checked?

All of our volunteers are screened, background checked, and finger-printed.

Are your programs during the school day or do you offer after or before school programs?

We offer our art explorations both during the school day and at before or after school programs.

Do classroom teachers need to prepare anything for the art explorations and/or help out with the class?

No preparation is required, and we bring everything we need. However, we do require that the teacher stay in the classroom during the presentation to address any discipline or other issues.

What is the cost of bringing Art Odyssey Arizona into my classroom?

We bring our program into your classroom free of charge. Furthermore, all materials and supplies are provided.

How far in advance do I need to contact Art Odyssey Arizona if I want to bring art explorations into my class?

We have two sessions annually, one in the fall and one in the spring. Depending on volunteer availability, we would need to get you signed up at least one month prior to the start of the next session.

How many times per session do you come into the classroom?

We aim to get into the classroom four times each session.

Do the students enjoy the program?

The children love our art explorations! Their favorite part is the hands-on activity that each lesson concludes with. As Gracie, age 9 says, “I like to paint and let secrets out.”
