These master pieces are filled with colors, laughs, positivity, and love.
Through these free art programs, Esperanza-Hope is working so closely with our community with passionate volunteers and artists.

In addition, the children can openly express themselves through art and work on their talents.
Our mission is to bring hope and embolden a positive vision of the future for the children in our community in Rhode Island, and for children in the poorest communities of the Dominican Republic. Our objective is to encourage a more positive outlook for children by providing the tools necessary for success.
