I was pleased to read your blog. The poorer inner city children of America need art every bit as much as those from the suburbs and privilege. It’s a good thing that outreach can touch these children. When art and culture is introduced at a young age these kids have a better perspective on life. That’s because art and creativity offer life beyond the gang culture. Florida and Collier county has wonderful things for both young and older student to marvel at art wise . The businesses of the region are actually helping themselves with an eye to the future when they donate cash and resources to the better education of local students. It has been proven that the inclusion of music and art classes helps the student mind to grow and to be productive. You could say that the arts give hope where hope is needed the most. Exclusion of the arts makes Johnny a dull boy. In the age of game boys, computers and little exercise, this is exciting for students of any age.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteWould you please pass along this information to whomever you think it would be relevant?
I am setting events in the NYC area for artists and musicians looking to share practice/work/studio space.
These events are also to find other artists and musicians to collaborate with.

If you have any suggestions about how to tailor the event send em along. It's just a self-organizing mixer right now. No rules. Free.
Any suggestions about what the appropriate places to put up ads would also be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Dene
