New Art for the ArtAbilities Collection
|
|
Many new
paintings will join the Mailman Center for Child
Development's art collection.
This
collection project, called ArtAbilities, was
started in 1995 with the idea to put a child's drawing
on the front cover of the Center's new brochure. Ten
years later, the Mailman Center has a huge collection of
quality children's art created by children with
disabilities or special health care needs, the very
children the Center is dedicated to serving.
Each year
the Mailman Center has selected new art works created by
children in Miami-Dade County Public Schools'
exceptional student education program.
|
|
This year was no exception. Many stunning pieces were
submitted by teachers from all over Dade County.
This year
for the first time ever, a special themed project was
created for the Mailman Center and Journey of Dreams in
conjuction with
Parent to Parent of Miami.
The theme
was Angels & Dreams. The
children rose to the challenge and submitted some
terrific works of art with many interpretations on this
theme.
|
Artists:
Marcquvise Bell, 8th grade. |
|
Artist: Martina Gigante, 3rd grade.
|
Some of
these exceptional submissions were selected for silent
auction at the Parent to Parent of Miami's Journey of
Dreams fundraiser. Over $65,000 was raised during this
fundraiser for use in support of families with children
with disabilities and chronic illness.
The
remaining selected artwork will hang on display in the
permanent collection at the Mailman Center and serve to
bring joy to the children, families, and staff who work
and visit.
This year,
on May 18th, the artists and their families are invited
to attend an award ceremony. At this event they will
receive a picture of themselves next to their art work,
an award medal, and a gift certificate. |
Many of the art pieces chosen this year are displayed
here on this website. If you do not see your child's art
displayed, we may not have received your child's art
release form yet. It will be displayed as soon as we
receive this form. You may also order a set of notecards
with your child's art. Call the number below for
details.
If you have
any questions about your child's artwork please contact
us at 305-243-4466. Completed forms may also be faxed to
305-243-6416.
