MCE Art Camp

ByMark

Join us in celebrating the amazing creativity of the students at Mathare Children’s Education (MCE) in Kenya through video, music and photos. Our partner Seth Luchemos and his organization Recreation Factory School of Arts just wrapped up another Art Camp week April 8-12. Seth writes, “We created, we danced, and we sang; unveiling boundless possibilities at the intersection of art, music, fashion, photography and video. Grateful to Inverted Arts for their partnership and supporting this Art Camp and we appreciate MCE Kenya for the warm reception and the opportunity to nurture and interact with such talented and creative students!”

Be sure to watch the Art Camp video above featuring a song written and recorded by the music class!
