My Nonprofit Reviews

ArtWorks for Milwaukee is such an amazing art organization. I had participated in one of their community art projects led by artist Raoul Deal where I learned the process of creating a mural and how art can be integrated with research. I was 16 when I took part in this project as a high school intern. It gave me insight into what I desired to work in and what I felt was my calling. I would say this experience took part in my foundation into who I've become as a person and as an artist. From this creative collaboration among the lead artist and other high school interns, it gave me a support group and people who I consider to be not just friends but family. Since then, I have stayed in touch with majority of the people who took part in this project. ArtWorks showed me what was possible, and gave me the tools needed to understand that I was capable.
