Lee.  In addition, Fillmore staff provide the arts education for the Oyster/Adams Middle School students and the Walker Jones early childhood program. 

The core of Fillmore's philosophy is a belief that all children should receive a skill-based, quality arts education.

Fillmore also serves the greater metropolitan area through its after-school classes and summer camp at the Fillmore West site.

Fillmore visual arts students have been busy producing work for display in the community. Instructor Rain Young has mounted two shows of work by Fillmore East students. "Catapalooza Day" at the Washington Animal Rescue League featured whimisical cal drawings in the lobby and multipurpose room as part of the cat adoption day. Over fifteen cats were adopted on that day with Fillmore work providing a perfect background. The Woodridge Library displayed Fillmore East drawings of President Obama and Dr. Martin Luther King during the Black History Month observance for the month of February.
