Everyone's dreams must be encouraged and celebrated. This creative workshop is designed for the children who live on the grounds of Camp Chão Bom, a former concentration camp in Tarrafal, Cape Verde. Through arts and other educational projects, the children of the camp will be encouraged to use art as a vehicle for communication and transmission, to offer new visions of hope within the camp. The projects resulting from this one-day workshop will be included in the exhibition Glimmer of Freedom.
This event is free and open to the public. apexart's programs are supported in part by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, The Buhl Foundation, the Degenstein Foundation, Lambent Foundation Fund of Tides Foundation, Bloomberg Philanthropies, The Greenwich Collection Ltd., Affirmation Arts Fund, the Milton and Sally Avery Arts Foundation, the Fifth Floor Foundation, and with public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M.
