The 5th and 6th Graders at South Avondale
Elementary School for their film “A1 – Off the Hook” about
their Cincinnati neighborhood.
Art Links representatives accept their
award from Mayor David Cicilline of Providence (L)
and Lorne Adrain
of National Neighborhood Day.
The
young filmmakers who created “A1 – Off
the Hook” are participants in Art on the Block,
an afterschool arts program serving K-8 students at
Cincinnati Public Schools Community Learning Centers.
This program is one of many provided by Art
Links,
an umbrella arts organization that provides arts in
education programming
to disadvantaged school districts in Greater Cincinnati.
Art Links contracts with over 100 local arts organizations
and individual teaching artists impacting over 55,000
students a year.
Art Links’ Teaching Artist Mark Santangelo is
a musician, video photographer, and producer who was
conducting an "Art on the Block" program
at South Avondale Elementary School when he learned
of the National Neighborhood Day Short Film Contest.
As Mark worked with the 5th and 6th graders on their
film, he was overwhelmed with their enthusiasm and
desire to speak out about what they like, and what
they don’t like, about their urban Cincinnati
neighborhood. The prize money will be used to support
Art Links’ continuing programs.
