OUR MAIN OBJECTIVE
Outreach (Artist in Residence/Art Literacy)The two organizers of Soulflags met to teach in 2012 and eventually lead the Art Literacy program from 2014-2019 at a local elementary school in Oregon City.
After volunteering for many years, organizing special events like Math, Art, Science and Health (MASH) Night, overseeing special Artist-In-Residence projects at the school, creating special art pieces and just plain loving to work with young aspiring artists – the organizers started their own venture of creating a non-profit so all kids the opportunity to explore art and be educated in the arts provides the students with the chance and ability to express their artistic self. Soulflags Outreach opportunities include Artist in Residence programs (Murals and Installations) and Art Literacy Education (ALE). Students in ALE will learn about the artist (past or present) and then explore/create an art project associated with the artist using mixed media (watercolors, acrylics, clay, etc.).

From Murals and Installations, Soulflags shares the language of visual arts to young people. A grade level or all-school project, a paint-by-number mural can be developed around curriculum, school wide theme, or designed by students. A mural project offers ways to build community by inviting parents and other volunteers to help with mural assembly and installation. Soulflags works with your Parent-Teacher-Student led organizations and your budget to create a mural or installation that will be an integral part of your school and community.
