The students from Amber Charter School were thrilled to work with Ruben and Isabel Toledo. They knew that Isabel Toledo had designed the First Lady's inaugural gown. Atter working with these artists, they came away with an understanding that the creative process is about self expression, confidence, energy and passion. Those are lessons that are invaluable. We at Amber are grateful to El Museo del Barrio for affording our students with this amazing opportunity.
