Juliet Meyers, Art Instructor
F.A.C.T. ARTCamp
Sweeney Elementary
Santa Fe, New Mexico


Inspired by the Place and Identity programs of Art:21, the F.A.C.T. ARTcamp 2001 summer series at Sweeney Elementary focused on the themes of cultures crossing borders: arriving, surviving, and thriving. Students were introduced to the work of Pepón Osorio, featured in the Place episode of Season One.

“The themes integral to Pepón Osorio—place, identity, arriving, surviving, and thriving—were pertinent to the students of Sweeney, many of whom are also of Hispanic heritage.”
