Dear Art Has Heart Followers,
As most of us have been trudging through the past 2 years with caution and diligence, the foundation has been no exception, and the Board of Directors is continuing to work hard to continue the important mission of Art Has Heart.
Thanks to your generosity, the foundation was able to award 9 scholarships in 2021, to students across the country. These students come from a variety of backgrounds but share a common love for the arts. Through the continued support of donors each year, the foundation is able to fully operate and expand the scholarship program to many deserving students. As the saying goes, “it takes a village…”, and you are a part of the reason for their success in their higher education endeavors.
As we continue our fundraising and community engagement efforts, we are proud to continue our partnership with Austin Community College (ACC). Amado was selected to develop a large-scale mural for the new campus at ACC. The “Bridges to Success” mural will be officially unveiled on September 20, 2022 in Austin, TX. More information will be forthcoming via our social media, website, and email.
Austin Texas has a special place in the heart of Amado Pena. He was a teacher in many parts of Texas, including Austin. Boots & Bats will continue this upcoming spring – Save the Date – April 29, 2023.
We appreciate our Art Has Heart Family of followers. Please feel free to share this news with your friends and family who might have an interest – we would love to have their support, as well!
Enjoy the last of the summer days with friends and family.
Blessings to you and yours…from ours!
JB & Amado Pena
