About Art Connects Us

Founded by a parent with a degree in art education, Julie Eckhardt built an art docent program from the ground up, when her children were attending a primary school that did not have an art teacher. Julie saw a need for an art program that makes adding art into the classroom simple. It needed to be affordable, streamlined- AND inspiring. Easy for the teachers or docents and enriching for the students. Nearly 10 years in the making, this program has now been refined and used by parents and teachers. It's hard enough for schools to get all the mandated curriculum in the day- now they can get art in- easy!
