Interurban Center for the Arts
A Green River College Foundation Community Partner
Mission: Green River College Foundation's Interurban Center for the Arts (ICA) delivers a uniquely diverse and robust arts curriculum, providing resources to children and volunteers while fostering excellence in arts education.
The Interurban Center for the Arts (ICA) has a long and valued history in our communities with 38 years of experience in arts - enrichment and development for school age children. The ICA serves several elementary schools in South King and Pierce County and helps schools facilitates monthly art appreciation classes for students.
Trained volunteers visit the classroom once a month. Each lesson covers one influential artist and their work, basic art concepts, and concludes with an age-appropriate, hands-on art project.
