Higgins Elementary Jam Session
Last year Artists For Harmony held an unforgettable show at Martyr’s in Chicago featuring three amazing acts. Matthew Santos, Andrew Ripp, and Daphne Willis rocked out to a full house, and when it was all said and done, AFH raised over $5,000 for Chicago Public Schools. The money was awarded to Higgins Elementary School to provide their students with instruments, and enhance their music program during the 2009-2010 school year. Higgins was courteous enough to send us some pictures of the students enjoying their new tools of self expression. Thank you for all your support! Click here to view pictures from the show.
The ICRE Autumn Sessions
Saturday got off to a wonderful start, and the students had a great time in the newly remodeled art room! We look forward to tons of fun projects in the near future. Contact mike.trulis@artistsforharmony.org if you would like to volunteer. Click here for more pictures.
The ICRE-R Art Room Rehab Project
Because of your generous donations and unheralded support, the dream of a remodeled art room for the wonderful students of ICRE-R has become a reality. After months of planning, and help from several volunteers, the art room is set to open its doors to the students at the beginning of the fall semester. The art room serves as more than a place for arts and crafts. Coinciding with AFH’s mission, the room is also a place where students can feel safe to express themselves in a positive manner. AFH believes that when a welcoming environment is obtained, the power of self expression is unleashed. EVERY student truly has the ability to make a lasting impression on our community. Your selfless donations have provided: Countless art supplies New storage spaces Computers with state of the art and adaptive peripherals A high definition television Wii gaming system HD video cameras And much more! The entire room has been designed to accommodate the individual needs of each student, and weekly classes will be held to utilize the newly remodeled room. If you would like to volunteer your time and see first hand how amazing these students are, please email mike.trulis@artistsforharmony.org Thank you for all your support. -The AFH Team Click here to view all the before and after photos.
