Free money for fieldtrip transportation? That?s just what ArtsBusXpress is all about!

Here?s how we see it: developing young minds need the arts; Federal law requires arts as core curriculum; teachers know the power of the arts in transforming a child?s education; San Diego abounds with arts-rich learning opportunities; student tickets are often free or discounted; plenty of buses sit in parking lots every day. . .

So what?s missing? Money to pay for fieldtrip transportation!

Here?s where ArtsBusXpress enters the picture: by underwriting transportation ? ?the missing link? ? schools can access arts and culture opportunities in the greater community. It?s that simple. Teachers apply for bus grants on line at www.sdabx.org. The result? For a few dollars per child, the life-changing imprint of music, theatre, dance, art and museums is being given to San Diego children ? over 93,000 of them, in fact, since ArtsBusXpress got on the road in October 2002.

Tackling fieldtrip transportation in an area the size of San Diego County is daunting, but here?s why we should try: 500,000 children stand to benefit. W e think of ourselves as ?The Little Engine That Could,? and with your help, we?ll be saying ?I knew I could, I knew I could!?

To keep the buses moving ArtsBusXpress raises money from arts organizations, businesses and corporations, community organizations, foundations, grants, and individuals: $10.00 sends a child; $300 can send a busload.
