Felix' Outdoor Studio
North Shore Academy of the Arts is currently engaged in creating a very special place in memory of our 8-year old student Felix Boller. Felix, whose dream was to become an art teacher, passed away last summer after his courageous battle with cancer. He was truly a remarkable boy and a talented artist who inspired many around him. Felix enjoyed and was engaged in many art forms: performing on stage, making his own costumes, and painting.
Outdoor Art Studio is our tribute to Felix, a place for artists of all ages to create and learn about art, a place for inspiration, creativity, and reflection. We also envision our art teachers using this special place for art classes. Felix’s Outdoor Art Studio is going to be located on the green space outside the NSAA building. We are going to plant a garden, install benches and tables.
In order to accomplish this we are currently seeking monetary donations, labor and materials are also welcome. More details on the project and the items needed are coming soon. Please click on the link below to download and print a donation form that can be mailed to NSAA. Thank you for your kind contributions!
