About Art Connects Us

Art Connects Us was designed to make art education simple, structured, and accessible for any school—regardless of staffing or resources.

Art Connects Us
A Note From Julie

Hi,

I’m Julie, founder of Art Connects Us—and a parent who wanted my kids to experience meaningful art at school.

With a degree in art education, I’ve always believed in the power of art to build confidence, creativity, and self-expression. But when I saw that my children’s elementary school didn’t have a dedicated art program, I knew something was missing.

So I stepped in.

What started in my kids’ classrooms quickly grew into something bigger. I realized many schools wanted to offer art—but lacked the time, structure, and support to do it well.

And too often, art was reduced to one-time projects—fun, but not building real skills or confidence over time.

I knew there had to be a better way.

So I created a program that makes art education:

  • Simple to teach

  • Structured with real skill progression

  • Meaningful for every student

Over the past decade, Art Connects Us has been used by teachers, parent volunteers, and schools just like yours.

Because here’s what I believe:

You don’t need to be an artist to teach art.
You need a program that guides you.

And every child deserves the chance to create, express, and feel confident in their ideas.

— Julie

What Parents Are Saying

"I love that I can bring art to my daughter's classroom when I know nothing about art or teaching. I am so busy, and all I have to do is quickly review the slides the night before and I'm ready to go."
