Arts Every Day Equipment Fund

Arts Every Day is proud to continue supporting Baltimore City Public School Fine Arts Teachers through our Arts Equipment Fund.  Originally launched in 2018 through a generous, multi-year commitment from MECU Credit Union, the Arts Equipment Fund has only continued to grow and provide even more vital support to Fine Arts classrooms across Baltimore City.
