The Pollock Arts Initiative (formerly known as the Vanessa Pollock Music Initiative) is a fund that helps underwrite instrument and arts equipment rentals at the elementary and middle school levels to eliminate financial barriers to student participation in arts programming. In addition, the fund will supplement Achieve Foundation funding of grant requests related to visual and performing arts, and may be used to help maintain the District's inventory of musical instruments and other arts-related equipment and supplies. Through the Initiative, scholarship awards for advanced training may be offered to Columbia High School students who demonstrate exceptional talent and are recommended by SOMSD music and arts department faculty. Awards are tailored to students’ specific needs for private instruction, classes and/or professional quality instruments/art equipment.

The Pollock Arts Initiative is conducted in partnership with the SOMSD and Achieve, the local Education Foundation. Achieve is an independent, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that raises funds to promote exemplary public education for all students and educators in our community.
