They were donated to the organization by Eagle Distribution and stored courtesy of local businessman Chris Barzack. "We are privileged to share these resources with the community," said Sandra Stewart, a member of A.R.T.’s Fill the Frames program. "This is a good opportunity for educators and other non-profits to supplement their materials for projects. And, it is a great example of how local business and art can support each other."
