Greetings ALMA Supporters
Let us share a little bit about ALMA.
ALMA stands for Apprenticeships for Leaders in Mosaic Arts and was founded in spring 2015 by the leadership team of the Mayor’s Art Institute. ALMA is now the administrator for The ALMA Summer Institute (ASI) formally known as Mayor’s Art Institute (MAI). ALMA provides mentorship and training to youth through our apprenticeship model, creates world-class handmade tile mosaic artworks, and provides opportunities for the community to engage with the mosaic process.
We are gearing up for the ASI summer program for 2019. We have hired 11 lovely apprentices from all over Albuquerque, NM. Our program will be starting next week, and we will be sending out a bi-weekly blog from the Lead Artists and Apprentices. We will start with our first one from Cassandra Reid, she shares some of the excitement that has been going on with ALMA in 2019. Please click this link to read our first blog ever!
