Thank you - The Small Miracles Project

The Small Miracles Project is a grassroots non-profit organization committed to bringing arts education to underprivileged children, both in developing countries and in the United States.

By teaching creativity and innovation, young people are empowered to imagine and design a better life for themselves. For artists volunteering their time, a window is opened onto a previously unknown world. In turn, both teacher and student are enriched through the experience of cultural exchange.

The Latin American Community Art Project (LACAP) began in 2003 as an Artists Collective formed by students at the Cooper Union School of Art in Manhattan. LACAP’s pilot project in Petatlan, Mexico, was made possible by a Benjamin Menschel Fellowship for Creative Inquiry. Since its inception, LACAP has evolved and its members have branched out to begin related projects (SMP, LC Projects), in order to best acheive the original goals of reuniting communities, helping children, and encouraging cultural exchange through the restorative powers of art. Now based in New York City and El Polvo, El Salvador, LACAP is working to create a permanent and sustainable arts center in rural Central America. The Small MIracles Project is working with LACAP to continue bringing free art workshops to the local children, and to help make their goals a reality.

Lo Curativo Projects (LC Projects) "use art as an agent for social change organizing groups of artists that collectively rehabilitate unoccupied structures converting them into community art spaces. Though based in New York City these projects travel from north to south through the Americas passing borders and dissolving limitations by communicating messages through art.”
The Small Miracles Project will be working with Lo Curativo to plan print-making, silkscreen and other arts workshops for children in New York City beginning Spring 2008.
