Art Supply, 2711 Main Street in Midtown, is our official sponsor. They have donated operating space for several months during our construction, art supplies for monthly raffles over 4 years of fundraising, and a smile and welcome as we used their space. We thank Vikki and Ben for their generosity.

Senior Classes
On most Thursdays of the year, from 9:30-12:00pm, Mary Rustay and other WAS-H volunteers teach and assist senior citizens in their pursuit of artistic expression and companionship. For some this can become the high point of their week.
WAS-H Volunteer Mary McJunkin enjoys painting with two young artists at the Texas Children's Hospital Arts in Medicine (AIM) Program.

WAS-H is proud of a long-standing relationship with young patients at Texas Children's Hospital. Every Tuesday from 10am till noon, volunteers from WAS-H assist young patients waiting for their cancer treatments in discovering the joys of watercolor. It becomes a learning experience for both the young artist and volunteer.
