Mobile Art Studio Provides a Creative Outlet for Children

The Junior League of Eastern Fairfield County is hosting The Art Truck at its

annual Art Show for the first time on Sunday, April 6th

natural fit for the Art Show weekend, and marries up the successful fundraiser

with the JLEFC’s long-standing objective to help children succeed in school.

“The Junior League of Eastern Fairfield County and The Art Truck share a

commitment to children and a love of the arts,” says Maura O’Shea, owner of

the Art Truck. “Our partnership is a wonderful way to celebrate creativity in our

communities.”

“It’s important children are inspired in all sorts of ways,” Junior League of Eastern

Fairfield County president Sonal Rajan. “That makes the Art Truck a perfect

partnership for the Art Show weekend. Kids can be inspired by the works of art

available for purchase and on display in the Burr Homestead, and then they can

go on to create their own masterpieces in the Art Truck!”

The Art Truck, Connecticut’s only mobile art studio, aims to put the “art” in

party. The Art Truck delivers fun, educational birthday parties and events

to homes, schools or offices. An inspiring menu of unique projects offers

creative experiences for all ages, while “art-tenders” make party planning and

management a breeze. Gift bags, invitations, snack packs and full party services

are available to turn any party into a work of art.

Proceeds raised at the Art Show support the Junior League of Eastern Fairfield

County and its “Healthy Families, Healthy Futures” community projects, which

impact school readiness in the areas of literacy, healthy lifestyles and nutrition to

better prepare children to succeed in later grades and graduate from high school.
