Cost and Support

The I AM AN ARTIST Program is offered as a community initiative dedicated to bringing art and creative learning opportunities to students.

Raymond E. Merhej volunteers his time, experience, preparation, and workshop delivery at no cost to participating schools. The program is made possible through volunteer support and a shared commitment to making art accessible to all students.

The only costs typically associated with a workshop are the materials and supplies required for student participation. These costs vary depending on the workshop and are detailed within each workshop description.

Schools are welcome to provide the required supplies. However, if a school faces funding, purchasing, or logistical challenges, assistance may be available. Whenever possible, the I AM AN ARTIST Program will help source or provide materials to ensure that financial barriers do not prevent students from participating.

We are also grateful for the support of volunteers who assist with workshop preparation, setup, and classroom logistics. Their contributions help make these educational experiences possible.
