BGC Brief - Fall 2023
In the vibrant world of art, talent knows no age limits. Today, we shine the spotlight on Alondra, a remarkable 13-year-old who has discovered her love for art and is making waves in her art class. Her passion for creativity knows no bounds, and her dedication is truly inspiring.
Alondra has been coming to the Club since she was five and ever since she first picked up a paintbrush, she has been captivated by the magic of colors and the infinite possibilities they offer. Her art class at the Armtstong Youth Center has become her sanctuary, where she can explore her imagination and express herself freely on canvas. Alondra is relentless in her dedication of honing her artistic skills. Despite her young age, she approaches each art piece with enthusiasm and determination. She really enjoys learning from accomplished artists to broaden her artistic repertoire.
Alondra’s love for art has not only enriched her own life but has also inspired those around her. Her Club members and teachers are constantly amazed by her talent and dedication. Alondra says that if she were to ever work at the Club, she would want to work in the art room and teach art to others. She has even contributed to the Kidz Art Gallery at the Club’s annual event, Farm-to-Table(aux) where proceeds from the sale of her artwork is now helping future Boys & Girls Club Artists. We are also very excited that Alondra will be contributing to the event again this year with some Picasso-inspired paintings!
Like most kids her age, she does have interests outside of the Club and the art room. Alondra also enjoys sports and belongs to a team at school. Her favorite show is the Vampire Diaries; movie is Inside Out; and book is Series of Unfortunate Events. She enjoys spending time on Instagram and watching TikToks. And she loves ice cream but would never eat sushi!
As Alondra’s journey in the art world unfolds, we eagerly anticipate what the future holds for this talented young artist. Let’s celebrate the artistic spirit of Alondra, a 13-year-old whose love for art knows no bounds. May her colorful journey continue to inspire budding artists and ignite a passion for creativity in all of us.
