The Milagro Center, a nonprofit organization in Delray Beach that pursues a mission to ensure the social and academic success of children through cultural arts, living values, mentoring and academic support, recently collaborated with the Cultural Council to showcase the talents of local teens in an exhibition titled MilaGROWTEENS: The Future. Nearly 100 visitors attended the exhibition opening at the Cultural Council in August and were delighted to see artwork that represents the individual voices and experiences of Delray Beach teens, who were guided by a professional arts educator from the education department of the Boca Raton Museum of Art. At the Cultural Council, arts education is a priority. Through the continued work of its Cultural Education Committee, the Council is committed to ensuring that the county’s young people have opportunities to reap the proven benefits that arts and culture bring to the educational experience. As an active CEdC member and partner, the Milagro Center embodies and shares in this community work and vision for arts accessibility and equity. The Milagro Center offers unique arts-integrated educational and cultural programs that serve as a catalyst for community collaboration, individual transformation and social change. The arts foster a spirit of entrepreneurship in teens, teaching them skills and fostering a temperament for creative success. For more information, visit MilagroCenter.org.
