This exhibition is consistent with Curator Aldo Castillo’s mission of promoting and exposing the work of emerging and established worldwide artists and to the advancement of art education for children and the community as a whole. This provides the general public an experience of full diversity and interaction of the arts.
The program is strongly supported by a group of well-established and generous artists from all over the world who understand the powerful impact art has on people’s lives and that art should be available to all.
