USA ArtLink students meeting via an Interactive Video Conference (IVC) with students in the Brazilian Amazon
Warm Greetings,
It’s hard to believe that another school year is about to end. In the last three months we put on a successful gala, wrapped up our final ArtLink video conferences, and are now turning our attention to recruiting new USA-based teachers for the 2018-2019 ArtLink program.
Just recently, I was cc’d on this note from an international ArtLink teacher working in a refugee school in Jordan that reminded me exactly why we do this work. “We felt absolutely speechless when we received your mesmerizing pieces of art. We were so thrilled to see the tremendous efforts all of you have put to make your masterpieces…We are extremely thankful and grateful to see the educated face of America. Again and again we are proud of our great partnership.”
Our program is multifaceted, but the impact is quite simple—life long connections between students around the world!
To celebrate another year of creating connections, please join me at the opening reception of our 2018 International Children’s Art Exhibit on June 21st at the New Canaan Library from 6-8pm. The exhibit will run through August 5.
I also want to make you aware of an exciting opportunity to double your dollars. Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor, any donations made to our 60-in-60 campaign through June 30 will be matched dollar for dollar!
Thank you for supporting our work for another year. I am eternally grateful.
Warmly,
Alan Steckler,
Founder & President
