Project 3rd Space is going to Mexico!
Summer, 2019 will be an exciting time at SkyART as we undertake an exchange with a K-12 school in Mexico City. Participants in Mexico and the United States will engage in a pen pal exchange, through which they will share details of their lives and cultures, exchanging artworks and developing ideas for collaborative pieces. The project will culminate in summer 2019 with visits by groups from each organization. Select SkyART participants will visit Mexico City and a group of young artists from Mexico City will visit SkyART. Participants from the CCA and SkyART will create two collaborative artworks to display permanently at the partner organization.
There are eight spots available for Project 3rd Space participants to travel to Mexico. Please fill out the application by January 26th to demonstrate your interest. Participants will be required to attend meetings every two weeks during SkyART’s winter/spring session and to create, videos, artworks, letters, etc. to exchange with their counterparts at the Centro Cultural Anáhuac (CCA) in anticipation of the summer trip.
This program is free of cost and includes participants’ travel and lodging. It’s not necessary for participants to speak Spanish in order to apply or join this program.
