Place an order with Artsonia as part of Blythe Park's Art Fundraiser and the Blythe Park Art Program will receive 20% of your purchase towards art materials and supplies.

*Order ASAP to receive your purchases in time for the holidays!*

Artsonia takes artwork created in your student's art class and reproduces it onto products such as magnets, tiles, note cards, mugs, and many other items. This is a great way for you to share your child's artwork with family and friends AND benefit Blythe Park's Art Program!

*Note: Orders must be placed directly through Artsonia. The PTA is not collecting orders for this program.
