Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Hello! We are a small, non-audition arts high school in the Lower East Side of NYC. Currently, our hallways do not reflect the vibrant and talented community of students that go here. However, we are looking to change that. Starting last year, a small group of dedicated students wanted to change that. They designed and painted two murals in our school.

Please help us continue our mission of glowing up our school through art!

We want to add even more murals that represent our students. Help us achieve our goal by donating today!
