How did EL PEQUEÑO ARTISTA get started?
The owner of El pequeño artista, Carolina Conde, is a native Venezuelan mother of a two-year-old. Concerned that her son wasn’t having enough exposure to the Spanish language, she started looking for extracurricular activities for him to do in Spanish. The wonderful music program Música para mí was the only option found. Surprised and disappointed that there were no other classes in Spanish, in comparison to the variety available in English, she decided to gather a number of Spanish-speaking artists residing in New York, develop art workshops and start a studio where kids could have access to great art, in the Spanish language.
