UTT affiliated fundraiser to aid lesser fortunate secondary level students pursuing visual arts for CSEC and CAPE in Trinidad and Tobago by supplying them with art supplies in their classrooms.

We are currently undertaking a community outreach project focused on supporting secondary school students in Trinidad and Tobago who are pursuing Visual Arts at the CSEC and CAPE levels. Many of these students face financial challenges in acquiring the required art supplies necessary to complete their coursework and prepare adequately for examinations.
