We
had the most awesome event for the Love My Neighbor Curriculum program
with the kids of Carson's Mission Ebenezer church of Pastor Isaac
Canales as well as a group of "Scottsdale's" own kids.
Pastor Isaac and
his son, Pastor Josh do an amazing work and a uniquely effective outreach
in Carson community, including "Scottsdale," and are friends of 10
years. Was very special to share what we do and to collaborate with
this true local pillars.
It was remarkable to see the kids asking for and being excited to take pictures with Cirilo, my great model for "El Rey Trabajador" and "Scottsdale" gardener of 30 years.
Its truly amazing to see the real impact art can have on a given community.
In all my long life in ART I've never been happier or feeling more accomplished than seeing that what I do is helping the effort of real people to turn their community around.
We had a tour of a gallery, learning to recognize and acknowledge the
great neighbors around us and then the kids painted their own beloved
neighbors in the adjacent Artward! Kids Studio that we set up.
They got
so into it and did beautiful and meaningful works becoming Love My
Neighbor Ambassadors to their own neighborhoods.
