The Rainforest Art Project at Herbert Ibarra Elementary School

In a unique partnership with Price Charities, The Burnham Foundation and San Diego Unified School District, The Rainforest Art Project is providing hands-on creative instruction for the entire third grade at Ibarra Elementary School in City Heights.

In addition to learning art and design basics, students work with experienced artists to create mosaic and sculptural works of art that become permanent installations on the school campus.
