Artists of St. Aloysius Gonzaga Secondary School Exhibition
Opening 25th June 2010 at 6.30 pm
St. Aloysius Gonzaga, is a Catholic secondary school that serves HIV/AIDS affected young people from the Kibera slums in Nairobi, Kenya.
On an initial visit, Georgetown University administrators realizing the absence of a visual art education, created an art immersion program. These artists receive art instruction annually from these administrators who first visited Kibera in 2007. After the first year of this art immersion program the artists/students formed the art club which functions all year around with the intensive art instruction delivered in a two-week annual art immersion program for those students interested in art.
In its 3rd year, the art immersion program has yielded some amazing artists that know how to convey their talent as well as their story about the place they live, the Kibera slum here in Nairobi, Kenya.
This has resulted in a successful body of work that really represents the fantastic art ability of the smart, beautiful and important students of St. Aloysius which has recently opened its new site in Lang’ata.
Please join us for this exhibition at the Kuona Trust, Centre for Visual Arts, Likoni Close, Likoni Lane off Dennis Pritt Rd, Hurlingham on Friday, June 25th, 2010 at 6:30 pm for the opening of the “Artist of St. Aloysius Gonzaga Secondary School”. The show will be open through 27th June 2010.

I'm so excited for the students and this opportunity for them to exhibit their work. What a cool experience it will be for everyone! Congratulations on, once again, making dreams come true. Much love to you and Margaret. (Is she going to wear her new dress to the show? She should. It's quite fetching.)
