What Guanajuato children are doing through TAN473

Today I went to the TAN473 exhibit held in a gallery off the patio leading to UG's Cine Club.

Below a sampling of what I saw: busy children, names in bright colors [left], prints done by 8-12 year olds [below]. Katie Clancy started this project several years ago. It now reaches out to girls at Buen Pastor, boys in Irapuato and children who live in La Venada neighborhood.

TAN473's motto: Creativity+Education=Change,
The 473 in case you haven't guessed comes from the local telephone prefix. You can find out more by googling or going to Facebook. Donations and volunteers welcome.
What's more involving than a kid's own name?

Color, color, everywhere
                                                                  Prints that took patience
Individual art, group pride
