ARTOPIA AT NEW WORLD SCHOOL OF THE ARTS JOIN FORCES FOR YOUNG GIRLS AT RISK
Special Exhibit at Cielo Garden & Supper Club Displayed Expressive Art Produced by the Young Ladies of Honey Shine
MIAMI, FL (May 23, 2008) — The Honey Shine Mentoring Program and mentors from the New World School of the Arts teamed up to let young girl’s inner creativity shine through expressive artwork for this years’ ArtOpiA exhibit. Honey Shine’s program participants across South Florida felt like master artists this week when their artwork was displayed at a special exhibit on Thursday, May 22nd, 2008 at the Cielo Garden & Supper Club in Coconut Grove, Florida.
“I am the Vision I Create” is this year’s theme, and the girls and their mentors did not hold back in creating vibrant and meaningful art that portrayed a positive self-image in which they expressed themselves. The young ladies and special invited guests had the opportunity to see their accomplishments on display this week. “This creative exercise allowed us to see a glimpse into the past, present and future. Each beautiful piece says so much about where our girls come from, their current state and how they visualize themselves as successful women,” said Mourning, founder of the Honey Shine Mentoring Program, which develops and nurtures the mind, body and soul of young women by providing experiences that enlighten and create balance in their lives.
The ArtOpiA program at New World School of the Arts provides an annual mentoring program to young children to facilitate them in creating artwork based on a theme. The mentors work on a one-on-one basis covering fundamental art and design concepts, computer layout programs and various other media including painting, photography and collage.
Guests at the exhibition were able to view a number of posters and t-shirts produced by the girls on display and enjoyed light cocktails and bites on Thursday, May 22nd, 2008 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m at Cielo Garden & Supper Club.
