As a part of the Children’s Needs Program, Voices For Children will hold its second in a series of Artistic Expressions Workshops next Thursday, October 14th at 4:00pm.  If you are working with a child who is artistically inclined, this painting workshop is the perfect place for him or her!

Participation in the workshop is free and Voices, through a generous grant from The Rotary Club of Miami, will provide all the art supplies needed to complete the project.  The completed artwork will be displayed at the next Forgotten Children Festival on April 2, 2010 at Bayfront Park.  This is a terrific opportunity to allow children in Foster Care to reflect on the creative process and gain artistic control.

 Who: Child artists in the Dependency System

 What: Painting workshop with a local artist. Supplies and dinner will  be provided.

 When: Thursday, October 14th at 4:00pm

 Where: Voices For Children Foundation, 1500 NW 12th Ave. Suite  1117

Space is limited and you must RSVP in order to attend this workshop.
