Please join us for a special fundraiser for the Mondo Art Project (MAP) next Wednesday, July 28th, from 7-9pm at the Salt Lake Art Center. Enjoy a round of artist designed mini golf, while helping us raise funds for our upcoming expeditions to Colombia and the Navajo Nation. This will be a fun evening for the whole family! Please see the attached invitation for more details…
For those of you who have been following our passion project, the International HeART Exchange, we have since changed the name to the Mondo Art Project (MAP).
The goal of the Mondo Art Project (MAP) is to connect children from around the world through the common language of art. We do this by doing art projects and exchanging drawings with children in different countries. Think of it like “pen pals” but with drawings, where there is no language barrier. Children have a voice in the world and can tell their stories to other children while exploring their own creative voice. We hope this will help children learn of the beautiful unique differences of our international friends, while also seeing how much we have in common. We also, if possible, will work with the children on a mural for their school or orphanage so that their creative voice is shared in their own community as well.
If you are unfamiliar with this project, check out the website to see how we are trying to connect children around the world through universal language of art: http://www.mondofineart.com/mondo-art-project
Suggested donation for the event: adults $20, students $10, children $5
A very special thank you to the Salt Lake Art Center and the 337 Project for hosting us in their beautiful space and in collaboration with the “Contemporary Masters” exhibit.
Please invite your friends and THANK YOU for your support!
Hope to see you there!!
