The Pavilion’s Arts On The Go Program Brings Hands-On Arts Learning to Thousands of Local Students
The Pavilion continues to expand arts education access for local classrooms through its Arts On The Go program, delivering creative learning experiences directly to students and teachers across the region.
Through this initiative, proudly supported by Aloha Beauty Lounge, American Communications Construction and Waste Connections, The Pavilion distributed 650 Exploration Boxes to 56 schools across nine school districts and homeschool groups, impacting 14,544 students. Each box brings the excitement of a field trip into the classroom, providing teachers with ready-to-use arts education resources at no cost to schools.
Designed to spark creativity and engagement, Arts On The Go Exploration Boxes are tailored to each grade level and filled with hands-on activities, standards-aligned curriculum ideas, craft supplies with step-by-step instructions and fun prizes for students to take home.
“Arts On The Go allows us to connect with classrooms in a meaningful way,” said Ashley Gravois, Assistant Director of Arts Outreach.” By delivering these resources directly to teachers, we can make arts education more accessible while supporting creative learning experiences for thousands of students.”
Teachers across participating schools have praised the program for its impact on both educators and students:
“We cannot express enough gratitude for the ARTS ON THE GO boxes you sent for our teachers. They are absolutely amazing! Our teachers and students love these resources. Your generosity and support mean so much to our school, and we truly appreciate the time and effort that went into providing such a meaningful contribution. Thank you again for your kindness and for investing in our classrooms.”

The Pavilion encourages educators to take advantage of this unique opportunity to bring the excitement of a field trip into their classrooms at no cost.
