the Latino medical students salsa fundraiser is tonight! despite two large projects due Wednesday and Thursday I am going to salsa/ procrastinate the night away.
proceeds, partial, I believe, will go to the RDA for the 42nd mural project; which is exciting.
oh, and mikey informed me last week that city visionary has slipped the RDA a nice $2000.00 for the mural. yes! wowsa! ;-)
City Visionary does murals throughout Kansas city Missouri.
They sat down with us early on in our planning and shared knowledge regarding potential artists, who had experience working with youth and they also shared a mock budget--which was extremely helpful.
Their organization referred artist Joe Faus . He is an amazing artist who works diligently with the organization Maddie Rose. Maddie Rose fosters and cultivates the arts within the vast Hispanic community of Kansas city. Joe's done a few youth murals and is extremely talented. After only one meeting, Wendy knew he was the one. I will try and locate information on city visionary & Maddie Rose and post it to the side bar.
Mikey and I met with Joe down at one of Maddie Rose's art studios several weeks ago...
ah...there is nothing more spectacular than the colorful, vibrant nature of Hispanic art.
Now, I did grow up in Los Angeles, CA so I may be a bit bias,
for
bearing witness to such art
filled me up with
a
great sense of nostalgia.
