Inocente tells the story of a young Latina striving to find her artistic voice despite having no home, no role models and no legal status (film by @ShineGlobal)
Inocente - the teenage artist formerly #homeless who became subject of Academy Award-winning film @inocentedoc - visited us in Sept 2013. With Sanctuary Art Center, we screened the film @iheartSAM & held fun after-party @ SAC's cmd+p gallery. This was part of our arts initiative.
So much fun with Albie Hecht and @JohnLeguizamo last night discussing his career, power of film, + raising funds to support our work. MISSED IT? you can still watch through Sunday and donate! Tickets: https://t.co/9iz1bxOECv

“If you do not open out the arts to children, they will not think it is for them. We cannot allow the arts and culture of this country, which is subsidised by everyone, to be accessed and enjoyed by a tiny elite. That would be ruinous.”
