You can now bid on art created by Pre-K 4 SA students while benefitting a local nonprofit.
The big picture: The "Gracias San Antonio: Children Are Citizens Project" aims to help kids express their opinions while participating in civic and cultural life in San Antonio.
How it works: The kids voted in November on a local nonprofit to support this year and chose the Children's Shelter, which aids children and families impacted by or at risk of abuse and neglect.
Throughout the year, they explored places across San Antonio, like the Monarch Butterfly Festival, Muertos Fest and the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park.
In the spring, local artists joined the classroom to create art with the kids about their experiences at the places they visited.
