Art matters to me because it can communicate without words -- Jen P.
Art matters because it is an outlet for when I have ideas or am inspired and I want to do something with it. Art is what educates me and keeps me interested and is what connects me with other people and the community. -- Chloe
Lux began its education outreach initiative with the Valise Project in 2000, before building a permanent home with the Artist and Education Pavilions. The Valise Project, which today continues to bring hands‐on experience with museum‐quality art to classrooms all around San Diego, was the start of an ongoing, passionate commitment to help young people throughout San Diego County develop their creativity. We invite you to help Lux build on that commitment by donating to these education programs. Young people throughout San Diego are grateful for your support!
