Here we go!

August 12, 2013
The Fund 4 Design & Art Education is born!

This is what happens when two retired art teachers, Marlene Kohn and Marilyn Traeger combine their creative forces to help kids who are passionate about art and/or design continue their artistic education after high school.

We brainstormed today over salad and sandwiches, ran into two former students, and came away from our meeting with lists of things to do before next Monday.

Do you love kids, art, & design?
Do you like helping make artistic dreams come true?
If you do,  please contact us so you can get in on the ground floor.

We need great networkers, designers, and people who are compelled to make this world a better place for kids now and in the future.

So far we have lists and plans, the support of the Dade Art Educators Association, a 501(c)(3) and a very generous $5,000 contribution from Lilia Garcia and the Coconut Grove Art Festival.
