La Semillita Art Project is gearing up for our first annual La Semillita's Summer of Art Tour 2014. The purpose for this tour is to create awareness about the importance of art in children living in undeserved communities. We will be providing FREE art workshops for ALL children living in any of the cities on the map. Be on the look out for our official fundraising platform which will be launched at the end on this month.

"Help plant a seed of creativity in every child's heart..."

La Semillita Art Project se enorgullece presentar nuestra primer Tour de Arte en los E.U. que se tomara acabo el verano 2014. El propósito del tour de arte es el de promover la importancia del acceso al arte para niño en comunidades marginadas. Durante este viaje visitaremos las ciudades más grandes y los barrios más pobres ofreciendo talleres de arte GRATIS para niños. Manténganse atentos ya que empezaremos a promover nuestra plataforma para recaudar fondos al fin de este mes.

Our passion for art and commitment to creating free access to the production of art is the primordial inspiration for this grand project. It is the reason why our main currency is happiness and not money. Happiness is a value that no longer a priority in our society, we want to change that. With so many happenings occurring in our daily lives, happiness becomes second after survival. Here at La Semillita we believe the opposite, we believe that a person must be happy first for her/him to want to not only survive but to thrive. To develop to the highest potential- to live beyond survival!!. Happiness is therefore a catalyst for hope transforming an entire community and ultimately helping to uplift their perspective on life through creative exploration...

WHY IS ART IMPORTANT FOR CHILDREN IN MARGINAL COMMUNITIES?/ PORQUE ES IMPORTANTE EL ARTE EN COMUNIDADES MARGINADAS?

"Art is freedom; the opportunities to succeed. Its the doorway to a world outside and away from violence, from negative influences; its the place where nothing is restricted, or exclusive, everything allowed, and you can be anything you want to be, just like the world should be."-Cuauhtemoc

After coming to Chicago and learning that there is very little to no programs for children in the south-side of Chicago, my partner and I decided to take action and create spaces for children who have been systematically disenfranchised by the city. Although this article was written 2 yrs ago, children poverty has become increasingly evident here in the city as it has almost tripled in the last years. We are conscious about the history of segregation in Chicago as well as the constant divestment in communities of color nation-wide. This why we need organizations like La Semillita Art Project in order to engage communities, heal our children, and give them hope and inspiration to want to live, thrive and transform the world into a reality of love, empathy and compassion through art.

In Chicago, the poverty rate for black kids is more than five times the rate for white kids. And the gap is growing.

“We all have the chance to create a world where extreme poverty is the exception rather than the rule, and where all children have the same chance to thrive, no matter where they’re born. For those of us who believe in the value of every human life, there isn’t any more inspiring work under way in the world today.”
