As we are every year, this year we are very excited to host Mi Escuelita’s year end art show.
A community preschool that has been servicing our children’s hearts and minds for fifteen years, Mi Escuelita holds a special place in our heart. The art show is open to the public and scheduled for Saturday June, 3rd from 11 AM to 2 PM.
The children of Picture Farm more often than not spend some of their most formative years at Mi Escuelita, a local preschool. And every year we are proud to present their year end children’s art show. Last year Mi Escuelita concentrated the show around Nepal, raising $14k for Helter Shelter while teaching the children about art, culture and empathy. This year the focus is on Africa and responsible tourism.
All local art lovers are invited to stop in and enjoy the party and check out the great work Mi Escuelita does with the children entrusted to it. And especially, if you’re looking for a preschool for your child, this is a great opportunity.
From Tia Yvonne:
“¡Buenos días!
Mi Escuelita cares about our endangered species community conservation and responsible tourism.
This year we focused on the continent of Africa. We have taken the little ones on a conscious journey through the African continent, exploring it’s animals.
Please help us by donating to the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy which is an award-winning catalyst and model for community conservation, a UNESCO world heritage site.
Any donations made will be donated directly to Lewa wildlife conservancy…”

Yvonne Gonzalez had had the wonderful idea of turning our annual Mi Escuelita children’s art celebration into a fund raising event for Nepal and did so to maximum effect, raising $14,000 for Helter Shelter. It was an incredible day of performance and generous family time in the gallery space. Massive thanks to Yvonne and all the Mi Escuelita teachers and parents who made the event beautiful and effective.
