Mentor Madres - Sponsor a girl today!

Our second annual Art Chicas Unidas program is just around the corner - November 8. This is our collaborative Fall program with Girl Scouts of NorthEast Texas and Dallas Art Dealers Association. ACU is an art and education program with high school aged girls and professional women artists. Our pilot program last year was funded by Dallas Women's Foundation. This year, we're engaging professional women in all walks of life to "sponsor a girl" and become a Mentor Madre. For only $50 you can take care of the supplies and expenses of one girl going through our day-long program in our Design District Gallery, located at 2129 Farrington Street.

WHAT IS IT - ART CHICAS UNIDAS
Small teams of high school aged girls will work with professional women artists selected by jury and create one of a kind art works based on materials from our 35 acres site in Oak Cliff. The finished art works will be on display that same evening and all proceeds from sales go back into the Art Chicas Unidas program. What makes this program unique? This year we are working with Deaf Action Center, socio-economically challenged schools as well as girls that are getting the full art experience like at Booker T. We engage all walks of life and backgrounds and introduce new skills and interests, from photography to guitar to encaustic.

We will honor our Mentor Madres this year with your names across our invitational postcard to the reception. Even if you can't make the reception November 8, please support this program today. Download the form and mail or email back. Deadline Oct 18 to be on the card! Don't delay!
