Seeds of the League Newsletter- March

Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.
Harriet Tubman

This March, Seeds of the League has the pleasure of introducing six new stories by alumni and students who share narratives of their artistry and experiences at the League. These stories not only emphasize the joy and excitement of students beginning their journey as young artists’ attending the Leagues’ studio classes, but also highlights their perseverance, diligence, progress, and inspirations.

Additionally, in honor of Women’s History Month we are featuring, Amberrose Venus-Gordon who captures the innocence of our youth through her sentimental paintings of children and Elisha Lopez’s digital art works that introduce the beauty of motherhood inspired by her daughter. As always it brings Seeds much pleasure sharing these stories and we hope you enjoy and return next month for the April Newsletter!
