Please review www.themercyfoundation.com for information regarding Art In Schools. If you have any questions, please contact Christian Thomas Lee well in advance by using the 'Contact' page on www.themercyfoundation.com.

- Please note that insurance and security requirements allow for no more than 35 students per class. I am subject to occasional on-site audits by the insurers so it is important to make sure that a class is no more than 35 students. This limitation is specific only to students and the number of 35 does not include adults. Insurers also require the class to be held in a classroom. Presentations cannot be held in libraries, cafeterias, gymnasiums, etc.

- Unless otherwise noted, Art In Schools is for students in fifth grade and higher.

- A typical class will last a minimum of one hour.

- Please note food, drink, cell phones, and pagers are not allowed in the classroom.

 

- There are very strict publicity restrictions concerning my visit that are in place as required by the insurers for publicity purposes. Please carefully review www.themercyfoundation.com/publicity.html for additional information.

In short, there can be no photography, recording, or advertising of any kind without my prior approval. If you wish to place an article in your school newspaper, on your school website, or have outside media in attendance, please call me in advance so I can work with you to make sure all publicity is in accordance with insurer requirements.

- Art In Schools must be held in a classroom.

- Please review the following illustration which shows how to properly set up a classroom for Art In Schools. Please note that a large whiteboard is required. Also note that chalk boards will not work as chalk dust is damaging to the art.
