The Clifford•Smith Gallery, in collaboration with artkrush.com and Pilot Programs, PS 217, Brooklyn, is producing a coloring book for elementary school children (grades K-6) entitled KidsArt. This project features the works of 60 professional contemporary artists as well as accompanying projects which will introduce young people to ideas and images in contemporary art. The original drawings will be on view at the gallery through the month of October and will then be placed with a collecting institution for preservation and future use.

Although this project will take the form of a book when completed, the project coordinators have developed workshops and afterschool programs based on the art created for the book. Some of the participating artists will act as visiting artists in classrooms when the book is used for lessons.

The book will be used in the homeroom classes as curriculum materials, and will also be distributed to students during afterschool projects. All students in the school, as well as visiting students to the program will be given copies of the coloring book. In addition, copies will be made available to libraries, reading centers, etc. throughout the school district.
