Art & Activism

Students in projectART classes use creativity to help others

Wimberley’s projectART recently partnered with The Leaning Pear and Wimberley Fig Tree as part of an “Art as Activism” class. Co-founder and board member Jennifer Ober led a class of 4th - 6th graders in the process of designing and screenprinting canvas tote bags. The bags will be available for purchase at The Leaning Pear in Wimberley with all proceeds going to Wimberley Fig Tree, a nonprofit providing nutritional support to children who are experiencing food insecurity. Created by Ober, the class aims to educate youth on the importance of engaging within their community to affect positive change.
