About ARTY Van Gogh: \;Artist and art teacher Libby Hodges had a v ision for making art activities and visual arts education accessible to mo re people\, especially children. From that desire came the idea for creati ng a mobile studio. After some research and a bit of scouting the Internet \, Libby found an International Navistar bus that had been retired from ac tive school service\, but still had many miles left to go. A team of dedic ated\, tireless volunteers under Libby's direction transformed the bus int o \;Arty Van Gogh\, complete with new flooring\, worktables\, seating\ , and a paint job that turns heads wherever Arty goes. \;The plan for creating a mobile art studio started with making sure the space would be c omfortable for students and functional\, considering all the various activ ities and styles of art that students get to work on.
