I am trying to develop an art program at my school (also near the AGO) and look forward to exposing more of my students through your future initiatives. Last year I took some neophytes to the gallery and their excitement spurred me on; it is one of the main reasons I am determined to find the money to renew my AGO membership. Please continue to work towards making access to the arts possible for the schools that don't attend because they can't, not because they don't want to.
