Space One Eleven
Programs include a children ’ s art education program , City Center Art , which originally served students in grades 2 – 8 before expanding to meet the needs of area high schoolers . “ Organizations like Space One Eleven are essential to a healthy cultural fabric of any community , and we are thankful for donations from individuals who make it possible for children ’ s lives to be greatly impacted by our art experiences ,” says Prinz .
Take Reginald , an eight year old who knows he is an artist . He attends afterschool art classes at SOE every week .
He recently met one of the exhibiting artists and was awestruck to meet a “ real artist ,” following him around and quizzing him about his art and art-making practice .
Reginald ’ s mom is grateful for SOE : “ Thank you to everyone at Space One Eleven for all that you do for my son and all the other future artists . It really means a lot that Reginald has a safe and well-equipped environment to learn and grow while doing what he enjoys . You all are shaping the future , and that ’ s so amazing !”
