Arts Programs

A self-described passionate artist fueled by bold imagination, Kelvin Hair was introduced to art as a toddler and has been creating original works of art since middle school. In describing his teaching philosophy, he said, “When I teach kids it is not only about the art. It’s also about teaching them to trust themselves and create something new out of what appears to be nothing,” Kelvin said. “Painting lets them know through experience that they can achieve.” He is a widely-collected Florida artist with a loyal fan base. Governor Scott recognized him in 2012 as a featured Pioneer Artist from the State of Florida. Explaining why he believes that all Floridians can benefit from arts and culture, he said, “Art and culture preserve Florida’s rich history. Art and culture also show the world Florida’s creative abilities, and without those abilities you cannot compete in the ever-changing world we live in.”
