Our opening at the Children’s Museum of the Arts here in Manhattan was a wonderful success! We are very appreciative of all of the supporters who came out to celebrate the artwork created by our students this past December in Sri Lanka.
For those of you who missed the opening, we had tables set up with photographs of the children for guests to write notes to on the back. We collected over sixty and were so touched by your encouraging words that we thought it appropriate to share a few of your comments here:
“Hello from the very big city of New York to you in Sri Lanka! Thank you for creating such lovely art and photography and music with Cartwheel! It brought us so much joy to see what you created so we want to send you a message saying thank you – good job!”
“Thank you for the beautiful art work that was brought to New York. We all loved it!”
“Thanks for sharing your unique art work with us! I am so impressed. So cool. Keep it going!”
“Wow!!! What an electrifying smile! Your picture stood out with its joy & positive energy. We loved the art & photography you all created. Thank you for sharing with us.”
“I hope you know how much we all enjoyed your art here in New York City. Thank you!”
“What beautiful work! Thank you for creating such lovely things to share with the world”
