What is the Student Art Buying Program:
Students explore the world of art in a classroom module that culminates in a hands on art buying experience at the world renowned Cherry Creek Arts Festival. Through the program, students learn and practice valuable skills such as teamwork, negotiation, art appreciation, art-buying, public speaking, and more.

This unique opportunity features:
-Each participating school will receive an in-class Study Guide and lesson plan with curriculum and exercises to help students understand and appreciate art as more than a personal preference, but also as a reflection of culture and as a business.
-Teachers and students are encouraged to include the entire student body in exploring what kind of art would be appropriate and appreciated in their building.
-Schools are then invited to select three students to represent their student body.
-These young ARTrepreneurs will be given a budget to select and purchase art for permanent installation in their school.
-Students will then engage with artists onsite at the Cherry Creek Arts Festival and purchase artwork that day!
