About 💡

Replacing our 20‑year‑old studio easels is more than an equipment upgradeit is an essential investment in our students’ creative potential. Many of our current easels are structurally unstable and unable to support larger canvases, limiting both the safety of our studio and the scale of our students’ artistic ambitions. For young artists eager to experiment, explore, and challenge themselves, these constraints can be discouraging and creatively stifling.

By equipping our painting studio with new, professional‑grade easels, we can create a safe, adaptable, and inspiring environment where students feel empowered to take creative risks. These easels will allow them to work on more ambitious, large‑format pieces, adjust for their comfort and physical needs, and develop studio habits that mirror the standards of professional art practice.

This investment also strengthens the impact of our award-winning painting faculty, whose mentorship is a cornerstone of Regis arts experience. With modern tools that match their expertise, our faculty can push students even furtherencouraging them to expand their vision, refine their technique, and imagine possibilities far beyond the limitations of our current equipment.

Because the cost of replacing 16 classroom easels exceeds our operating budget, philanthropic partnership is essential. Your support will have a direct, immediate, and transformative impact on students who are passionately pursuing paintingone of the most in-demand disciplines in our art curriculum.

Ultimately, new easels are far more than pieces of studio furniture. They are catalysts for growth, confidence, innovation, and artistic discovery. With your help, our students will have the tools they need to create boldly, work safely, and fully realize their creative potential.
