FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – The walls at Sunland Park Academy in Fort Lauderdale are bursting with color. Thanks to the school's art program the students' paintings will remain on display until the end of the school year.
Mindy Shrago, the founder of the Young at Art Museum, said she and her team started to work at the school five years ago.
"We know how important it is to teach through the arts," Shrago said.
The museum based in Davie established the school's art program and continues to run it with Penny Phillips, the school's art teacher.
"Art makes no mistakes. You can't fix art," Phillips said. "They have a good time. It's fun. They can laugh."
Aside from the day-time art program, the museum also hosts a night-school program for children who are homeless.
