Assistance is provided only when
a responsible caretaker accepts
return of the cats after
surgeries for continued feeding
and care. |

tutoring for the neediest
students, and training in
dyslexic reading therapy. EVTA

own children by providing four
teacher-led workshops in Reading

International Folk Art
Alliance |
|
Santa Fe, New Mexico / $25,000 |
|
Communities around the world are
at risk of losing traditional
skills through migration,
economic disparity, and social
unrest. As a result, folk
artists across the globe need
markets to sustain their
livelihoods. At the same time,
many families in New Mexico are
isolated and lack opportunities
for interaction with global
cultures. The International Folk
Art Market addresses the
challenges by providing an
innovative approach to
increasing greater global and
cultural understanding. The
Market accomplishes these goals
through producing an
international event each July in
Santa Fe which hosts over 150
artists from 60 countries. |
