Emanuel Project

Setting up my Halloween Dia de Los Mu***os display. Its fun.

The Emanuel Project is presently going through some changes. Art bridge will no longer be the main focus of the Emanuel Project. We are back to our initial mission and will be expanding to other art projects.

The Emanuel Project is undergoing some major new changes beginning this year. Randy Minnick is no longer the director and we changed the location of to our new headquarters to Colorado. If you have any questions please notify me. Thank you, Emanuel Martinez at 303 668-0579

Follow our partner page ArtsBridge for updates on the annual youth art contest! S.D. is the 2018 winner for her piece, “We Will Meet in the Middle and Our Future Will Be Bright," which is a representation for the life S.D. sees for herself and her young son. S.D. is on track to graduate this spring!

Let's hear it for S.D. and all other hardworking youth who deserve the opportunity to find their path forward through art, as is ArtsBridge's mission as well as the focus of the Emanuel Project.

Here are pictures and concept thoughts of the mural "Education = Positive Transformation" that Emanuel Painted with the youth at Crescent Leadership Academy in New Orleans:

"To the staff and students at the Crescent Leadership Academy
The concept below is a sketch of what I envision for the cafeteria mural at the Crescent Leadership Academy in New Orleans. This was on based on how I interpret the mission and vision of this academy.From left to right will be a crescent moon against a dark background that lightens has it moves to the right. This crescent symbol forms a “C” followed by a “L” and an “A” that is an abreviation for “ Crescent Leadership Academy. The “L” moves forward into an arrow to emphasize Leadership. The “A” uplift’s the dominant graduate’s arm who is holding his diploma and who repesents a leader. Following behind Him are more graduates in a proud formation. The arrow points to a beautiful butterfly, a symbol of transformation used in most cultures. The colorful butterfly will leave behind rays of color to represent it’s influence on the world. As a symbol of growth and health, a plant emerges into flowering bud."

Muscogee YDC students contribute to a book for children at an orphanage in Haiti: During an airbrush lesson, students airbrushed animals onto material. Those fabric pieces were sewn together to make a wordless book. This book is being sent to an orphanage in Haiti for students to enjoy.
Great Job and Congratulations to the students at Muscogee!

Look at the latest Clay Art (wood fired)from Muscogee and AirBrush from Crisp! Awesome!
