High School Field Trip to Trust Art
Fame Theory had the great pleasure of having a brainstorming session with six bright, young stars from from The Bronx Guild High School about Trust Art. We also were fortunate that Trust Artist Facundo Newbery dropped by just in time for an impromptu presentation about his project, which had the kids both laughing and volunteering their time to the cause of sustainable homebuilding.
It was really a defining moment in the life of Trust Art to have the kids get excited the way they did about art and social good, and this project for bringing those things together. We recommend henceforth: always double check your model with the kids. And always listen to your teacher (Dana Luria was masterful at keeping us all on track).
Here are some notes from the young ones, and some pictures:
Dear Seth and Jose,
thank you for allowing us to visit you organization. I had lot of fun.
i also learned a lot about some cool projects which some people are
working on to make a sustainable community for others. I would like to
visit another day and learn how i can get involve with some of these
projects.

I will like to thank you for allowing the Bronx Guild students an opportunity to pass by and see what the place is about.I love the idea of what different artists are doing.I lovethe idea of the perfume called humanity. Having to remember a memory over a perfume is a great thing. The idea of sending different supplies to the Dominican republic to give them electricity and gas is a awesome idea. I’m glad that people are willing to help my country. Having a chance to help you guys out would be a great experience and it’s a great feeling to be part of these projects. Hopefully I get to see everyone again soon. It was nice meeting everyone there.
Thanks, Ginette Castillo
