Hello Friends!
I just received a wonderful phone call from Ted Frankel, proprietor of the Sideshow (the American Visionary Arts Museum Gift Shop where the ceramic hearts are sold). Today, Channel 13 news interviewed him about the beautiful sequined Haitian flags he sells at his shop. Ted travels to Haiti about 3 times per year to buy directly from artists and make sure they are getting fair prices. He is also on the board of directors for Art Creation Foundation for Children and has done art workshops with the children in Jacmel. Currently, all proceeds from the sale of the flags is going directly to earthquake relief for the artists. While he had the news crew there, Ted showed them the ceramic hearts made by Patapsco Students to help students at Art Creation Foundation for Children in Jacmel. Who knows how the segment will be edited, but there is a good chance there will be mention of the hearts and Patapsco Middle School on channel 13, today (Monday, January 25, 2010) at 4pm and at 5pm and tomorrow 1-26 at 6am. Tune in!
