ALL THE ARTS FOR ALL THE KIDS FOUNDATION- For more information about my favorite program go to allthearts.org
Fullerton is fortunate to have an organization that provides art, music, dance and theater to every child in Fullerton. It is my pet cause. At our annual Gala event we auction off art to raise funds. The past 2 years we also auctioned off some giant (5' tall) hearts made by me and other mosaic artists in Fullerton. The results were off-the-charts show stoppers. The city installed them in downtown for 7 weeks then they were sold. This may become a defining emblem for our fair city.

SUNSET LANE

 

Every year the second graders at Sunset Lane beautify their campus a little more by adding a mural or ceramic mosaic. This was a series of self portraits they made of broken plates and pottery. There are over 200.

HOUSE OF BLUES

 

In honor of Martin Luther King the students in the Fisler Jr. HIgh Art Class were invited to create a piece of art to be exhibited at the House of Blues, Anaheim in Downtown Disney. The class designed the piece that measures 5' x 3' and all participated in assembling the glass and grouting the final project. It is now part of HOB's permanent collection.
