Atelier Around the World

Last Summer, I was introduced to a creative group of children. I was the Youth Program Instructor for the African American Atelier, located in Greensboro, NC. This is a non-profit organization that encourages the diversity of art.
It was an honor to instruct the students at Alamance Elementary School through the Atelier Around the World Youth Program. The term ended with an Art Exhibition coordinated by myself and staff. I was really proud of my students. Not only did I inspire these young minds to follow their dreams and explore the arts, but I also taught them self-awareness.

The paintings above were done by 5th graders at Alamance Elementary School of Greensboro, NC.

   On November 30, Norma Jean and Femme took a trip to Charlotte, NC to support their friends in their event, NusicFest . There were live performances by Carson   (a rockband) and BSE (a rapping group), who are both from Charlotte. There were also clothing lines present with vendor booths to promote their lines such as Baked Goods Apparel , HotDogWater , and Materialistic Morphine . The event took place in McKnight Hall on UNCC campus and the doors opened at 6:30 PM. There were a lot of new faces and Norma Jean was even able to promote herself as a stylist and artist. We definitely enjoyed the event!  Below: This the rockand Carson.
