And so should you!
We’re excited to announce that the DMA’s Go van Gogh outreach program is going to be the recipient of one of Whole Foods 1% Community Giving Days! In an effort to reach out and partner with the surrounding community, Whole Foods Market provides Community Giving Days, during which they donate a percentage of sales to a local non-profit organization.
Tomorrow Wednesday, February 18th, 1% of the sales at Whole Foods Market Park Lane will go to the Go van Gogh program!
Go van Gogh is the DMA’s free elementary outreach program. We bring the excitement of Museum experience into North Texas classrooms, providing an introduction to the DMA for many of the students we visit, as well as opportunities for students to create artworks inspired by our collection.
Our McDermott Intern Liz Bola, Teaching Specialist Danielle Schulz, myself, and our new Volunteer Coordinator Jennie Russell will spend the day from 10:00AM-7:00PM tomorrow at the Park Lane Whole Foods Market store, talking to customers about what we do and why we do it, making art projects, and showing off our van.
So, if tomorrow, you need an excuse to:
- grab a morning coffee on your way to work;
- pick up a lunchtime snack;
- pop by after 5:00 for a quick dinner-to-go;
- or cross some items off your grocery list;
I hope you’ll come out to Whole Foods Park Lane. While you’re there, stop by and say hello to the Go van Gogh ladies (pictured above) and wonderful volunteers, so we can thank you for helping our program grow.
Spread the word to your Whole Food-ie friends, and we hope to see you tomorrow!

Manager of Go van Gogh and Community Teaching Programs
