All Over Art: More art. More joy.

All Over Art is a collaborative arts program from the Granville Center for the Arts that brings original artwork directly into schools and the everyday spaces where children learn, play, and grow. Art can brighten our days, support emotional well-being, spark curiosity, and inspire us to see the world differently.

Through completely free, temporary placements of paintings, sculptures, and other original artwork from our collection, we're making art a regular part of students' lives. It's another way we're working to make the arts accessible and inclusive for everyone, bringing creativity and inspiration directly to children where they are.

Benefits of Art at School:

Experiencing art can offer students much more than something interesting to look at. It can create moments of joy and calm, encourage creative thinking, spark meaningful conversations, and introduce new ideas and perspectives.

By making original artwork part of their everyday surroundings, we help students:

  • Support their emotional well-being through moments of joy, reflection, and positive distraction.

  • Discover new perspectives by experiencing the creativity and imagination of others.

  • Develop their own creativity through curiosity, observation, and inspiration.

  • Build an appreciation for art and artists by connecting with original work beyond museums and galleries.

  • Feel more connected to their surroundings through welcoming, interesting, and inspiring shared spaces.

Bringing All Over Art to your School:

All Over Art provides temporary placements of original artwork from the Granville Center for the Arts collection, made possible by generous donations from collaborating artists.

Because our collection and volunteer resources are limited, we cannot guarantee every request, but we welcome schools to share their ideas and available spaces.

How It Works:

We make bringing original art into your school simple, collaborative, and safe.

  • Find the Right Space. We'll work with your school to identify a suitable location for displaying artwork, indoors or outdoors.

  • Explore Available Art. We'll share artwork from our collection that could work well in your space and help you select a piece.

  • Plan and Install. Our experienced team will coordinate with your school's facilities staff to plan and safely install the artwork, taking into account the needs of your building and students.
