"Painting makes me happy!" 1st grader, Rosa Parks Elementary School

Thanks to our supporters (that’s you!) Brush Fire had a big, beautiful 2009 – reaching a record number of kids with our innovative, process-based art programs, creating new partnerships with San Mateo Juvenile Hall, Camp Kemp and 10 new schools in San Francisco, all the while providing opportunities for underserved youth express their deepest fears and desires in living color.

We are so grateful for your on-going support. With your end-of-year donation we can keep up this beautiful momentum and continue to help youth value themselves as strong, creative members of our community with valuable things to say.

I like painting because it's a great way to relieve stress. I love to express myself even though I"m different." 9th grader, Mission High School
