The Vamos Falar Português Foundation (VFP), in partnership with Brazilian artist Rogério Peixoto, will launch another project for children in South Florida: “Making Art with VFP and R. Peixoto”. Children will have the opportunity to paint and exercise their creativity.
VFP’s partnership with Rogério Peixoto began last year with a visit by the artist to one of the centers of the Portuguese class program. R. Peixoto, as he is known in the artistic world, is a renowned artist with several awards in Brazil, Europe and the United States.
Cristiane Martins, president of Fundação Vamos Português, is very happy with the partnership: “The Making Art project with VFP and R.Peixoto will give children another way of getting to know our culture. It’s a beautiful project that will involve art, culture and education, and I’m sure we’ll soon be expanding to other locations and serving more children!”
Making Art with VFP and R. Peixoto is a completely free pilot program and will initially only be offered to children enrolled in the Portuguese class program in Boca Raton.
According to artist R. Peixoto, “Art is another way of broadening horizons. Through the spontaneity and creativity brought by the art of painting, children learn new ways of dealing with their own feelings. And what emerges from this activity is part of that child’s universe. It will be a great pleasure to be part of VFP!”
