****News about our recent past
The Carlitos Hearts Art for Change fundraiser on behalf of Art for change
took place at the Julia De Burgos Cultural Center on Thursday, May 22nd.
The event was an undeniable, resounding success in the true spirit of Art
for Change! Several bands made an appearance and many an attendees spent
the night dancing away. The vibe of excitement was tangibly felt by all
who were present that night.
 
Thanks to all who came for May 17 & 18 Hacia Afuera Public Arts Festival,
which allowed us to spread our wings and connect to our community. From
working with other organizations, to interacting with members of our local gardens, small business owners, neighbors and children, Hacia Afuera is an
exciting project. At the festival, Youth Theater y Algo Mas debuted
"borders/fronteras" , a short piece that is an initial exploration of how
a group of people are affected by workplace immigration raids. Families,
friends, musicians, neighbors all came out to watch the show, and, in
their responses (crying, laughing, jumping up ready to defend characters.)
