Since 1984, the Columbia Public Schools Partners In Education (PIE) program connects our businesses and schools to #Inspire Greatness.
In 2024, we celebrate 40 years of school and business partnerships and friendships supporting Columbia Public Schools. Kicking off the Partners In Education (PIE) 40th Anniversary Celebration, May 6-10, 2024 is our annual CPS PIE Art Gallery and Windows downtown in The District and Virtual Art Gallery. CPS students’ artwork is displayed in many shops downtown during PIE Week (first week of May). Participating shops display an Official Art Gallery window cling to advertise their participation.
In addition to inspiring #CPSBest budding artists, this is an opportunity for CPS Art Teachers to promote and highlight their incredibly talented CPS student’s artwork showcased to the City's Office of Cultural Affairs judges. The winning school's art department receives a $500 honorarium to support purchasing art supplies for classrooms and an opportunity for their student's artwork publication.
