Give the Gift of Creativity: The Pavilion Hosts Art Supply Drive for Aldine ISD

THE WOODLANDS, TX -- The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion is inviting the community to give back in a creative way through its upcoming Art Supply Drive, benefiting students in the Aldine ISD Elementary Summer School program.

From April 27 through May 8, 2026, The Pavilion will collect essential art supplies to help ensure more than 3,500 students have access to arts education during the summer months.

“We believe access to the arts is essential for every child,” said Ashley Gravois, Assistant Director of Arts Outreach. “This drive is an easy and meaningful way for our community to support students, help spark creativity across the district and deepen our partnership with Aldine ISD as we expand access to arts education.”

Requested donation items include:

• Elmer’s glue sticks

• Kids blunt-tip safety scissors

• Crayola broad line markers

• Crayola crayons

• Elmer’s washable school glue

• Crayola fine tip markers ​

Donations can be dropped off at The Pavilion Box Office, located at:
