The Rotary Club of Bacolod launched the Art CAMP (Community Activity Mentorship Program) at the Bacolod City Public Library, recently.
It was launched with instructor and visual artist Sony Golez, a past president of the Association of Artists of Bacolod- Negros and founder of the Silay United Guild of Artists or SUGA.
Now on its 2nd year, the Art Camp brings 35 young poor students from ages 6 to 9 for the art classes that will span twelve sessions every Saturday, a press release from RC Bacolod said.
Artworks completed will be exhibited and proceeds will be given to the students from the underprivileged sector as educational assistance, it said.
Also joining were the children of fellow Rotarians who wanted to unlock their talents and capabilities in expressing themselves through art, the press release said.*
