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

My goal is to create a functional space where our performers can get ready for their shows. Currently we do not have an area where we can store costumes. It is my hope to create a room for costumes to hang backstage. Additionally, I would like to set up two make-up vanities so students can become fully immersed in their character through the use of make up design. In this cart I have included supplies such as face paint, mirrors and garment racks to assist in making the space warm and functional.
