Migues Art Project

This summer, Sarah Trembley, an emerging Minneapolis artist and Program Development Chair of the Minnesota/Uruguay Chapter is bringing 2 weeks of art lessons to the rural town of Migues,Uruguay, a 45 minute drive from Montevideo the capital city. Mostly a ranching and farming community, Migues recently has been committed to promoting education in trade schools and has a 65% job placement rate in careers such as; hair-dressing, bar-tending, locksmith, basic PC operator, pastry chef, etc. Sarah is interested in philanthropic projects in under-privileged areas particularly in Latin America. She believes there is more to art than simply aesthetic beauty; art has the ability to teach problem-solving techniques, raise self-awareness, develop engineering skills, become resourceful, and a host of other benefits. The lessons she will provide involve puppetry, a great introduction to sculpture and 3-dimensional reasoning.
