Considering the Love Project taken nationally
We present Hope Love
Project at the National Art Educators Conference on March 7 - online this year
Questions:
Is it an opportunity lost if we don't make this a starting point for a bigger project?
Is the time right in our country to do this to do a bold move to lift the conversation about Love?
Can we do this?
Is it a good vehicle for spread the word of our curriculum of what we do?
