HOME / UN HOGAR
Mentorship

HOME / UN HOGAR is a free community-centered program and mentorship featuring Basalt High School students who have recently immigrated from Central America. With guidance from a dedicated local artist, students will create works of art that speak to their experience as a newcomer. Works can include visual art, sculptures, written reflections exploring their cultural identity, expressing their personal journeys, and their evolving sense of home.

Through bilingual instruction and creative mentorship, participants will use art as a powerful form of self-expression, culminating in a group exhibition at The Art Base this December.
