We had our first official event for Art Project Solution on Saturday May 14th.  Hosted by Casa Frela Gallery in Harlem New York, we showcased the photography of a group of middle school students from Juanga Village in Orissa India.

Co-founder of TPS, Joe Gonzalez ran a photography program while he was visiting our “Orissa Hygiene Project” in India.  The program was an opportunity for the students to explore a new art form and express their creativity.  The culmination was the gallery show in which fourteen final images were chosen to be displayed and auctioned.

By the end of the evening, all fourteen images had bids on them and were sold!  The auction brought in nearly five hundred dollars.  The money will be used to help the students and their school.  Each of the ten students involved in the program will be receiving a commission for their art.  We believe that it is important that regardless of their age, their creativity deserves recognition.  It is empowering to know that their art is being appreciated by others and that by selling the work, money is returning to their local community to make a change.

We would like to thank all of the sponsors and individuals who helped make this evening possible:  Lawrence Rodriguez & Casa Frela Gallery, Harlem Vintage, SMP Graphics, Pat & Jorge Johnson, Leslie Brownell, The Bhatia Family, Joe Gonzalez Sr. & British Airways, Lochlainn Burke & Ronald Irving.
