Art Chicas Unidas

Thanks to Dallas Women’s Foundation for Fall 07 funding! La Reunion TX has teamed up with Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas, Dallas Art Dealers Association, and CityGallery to launch Art Chicas Unidas, a totally new program to engage artists in the Dallas area to become involved in the artistic development of low income high school girls.

The pilot forArt Chicas Unidas was November 10, 2007 and featured 8 artists who led teams of 4-5 girls in a day long project with the goal that the girls co-host an exhibition showing the art they have created. During lunch, members of DADA led a demonstration of the real-life essentials of how to create an artist portfolio as well as a talk on various arts-related careers. An evening reception open to their families and the public was at the end of the day-long workshop at Uptown’s City Gallery located at 3506 Routh Street in Dallas. Proceeds from the sale of art will go back into the program.

Future workshops are in the works! Stay tuned.

Sponsors for the Fall 07 program included Dallas Women’s Foundation, Central Market, Kroger, J. King Bourland, Ken Link, Jo Temming, and Annonymous.
