project Details
In 2005, Wilson Arts, Inc. (WAI) was formed to supplement the MAPS for Kids funding for the renovation of Wilson School. WAI raised over $850,000 in private and corporate donations and community grants to provide four dedicated arts classrooms that were essential to the continuing success of the arts integration curriculum.
Completed in 2010, the new building on the west side of the original school contains office space, classrooms, a black box theater, a music room, and a library. The addition was designed to be historically appropriate for the school and surrounding neighborhood. In addition, a stately wrought iron and brick pillars fence was built around the playground area.
