Plan on attending the 2nd Annual Mira Mi Corazón (He)Art Auction Fundraiser for Latino Educational Success at 5:30pm on February 15th at El Colegio Charter School
The Department of Chicano & Latino Studies at the University of Minnesota & El Colegio Charter School proudly sponsor the 2nd Annual Mira Mi Corazón art exhibit and silent auction fundraiser for Latino student success. Plain wooden hearts will be turned into beautiful art by members of our community to symbolize the love and aspirations we have for our youth and will be treasured by others in their homes and offices across the state symbolizing la mente, corazón, y talento de nuestra gente (the mind, heart, & talent of our people).
Plain wooden hearts have been distributed to professional artists, school youth, teachers, and community members for painting and decorating. All hearts, each one is unique, will be sold at the silent auction. Proceeds from the heart sales will support scholarships for graduates of El Colegio to attend a higher education institution of their choice & activities to help prepare them for college. Funds will also support scholarships for students in the Department of Chicano Studies at the U of MN.
The Mira Mi Corazón auction will be held at El Colegio Charter School (4137 Bloomington Avenue) featuring food, drinks, & music by a DJ, followed by the silent auction at 6pm. Admission to the auction is $5.
Come celebrate & support the educational success of local Latino youth & the artistic talent of members of our community!
