According to Time4Learning Founder and President John Edelson, art has become a vital outlet for
children, especially during the pandemic.
"We need art now, more than ever," said Edelson. "It allows our
children to have a voice and express themselves, while bringing
people and ideas together. In addition, their designs tap into
their vivid imaginations while reinforcing key learning
skills."
