  • Room 13 workshops allow children to experiment with art, creativity
    Tuesday, February 5, 2013 - 4:32pm

    In 1994 in Fort William, Scotland, a group of children at a low-income school raised their own funds in order to pay for their art teacher to continue teaching them, as well as cover the costs of the studio and supplies they needed to create art. The children's self-governed group was run like a business under the name Room 13.

    Vicky Grube, after reading an article about this initial children's studio, hopped a plane to Scotland to observe it in action, bringing back these practices to Boone and starting her own Room 13 for children through Appalachian State University three years ago.
