We’re excited to give you a sneak peek into what’s coming this fall to the NCCIL. @yuyimorales’ lush and beautiful illustrations will adorn our gallery walls with an exhibition entitled, “Soñadora” that will open November 14th. #nccil #visualartsedmatters #artandliteracy

We’re blessing our seniors this morning at the @NCCIL. Friends, family, and graduates have gathered to celebrate accomplishments and relish in relationships. Thank you to @AllyFeuling, @libbylane_, and Andrew Huddleston for sharing your brilliance!

Catch the opening of @NCCIL 's new exhibition, "Yuyi Morales: Soñadora," 5-8 pm at this week's ArtWalk. It will be a celebration of Mexican culture: art activities, @FolkoricoAbilene dancers, and a dramatic reading of Yuyi's immigration stories and childhood experiences.

We were so happy to celebrate Karyn Ching as the NCCIL’s volunteer of the year at the Abilene Heart for the Arts luncheon today!

Thank you, Karyn! We love our volunteers and couldn’t do it without you!

A busy and creative FREE Family Fun Saturday in the studio today! Visitors came from close by and far away to create a colorful collage. We had visitors from Houston, Lubbock, and Dallas - just to name a few! #abileneproud #artandliteracy #visualartsedmatters #keepartfree

We love to connect the artist, story, and student! What an amazing way to use “Dreamers” by @yuyimorales in the classroom. #artandliteracy #k12artchat #nccil #visualartsedmatters

[Mrs. Martin (Barnett) @mrs_martin33]

Today we made books inspired by @yuyimorales book "Dreamers". This book was an awesome way to kick off the first week of school and get to know more about each other's stories!

Here’s to a SWEET Friday! What stories and illustrations are inspiring you today? We are big fans of this Melissa Sweet book. The illustrations are one of a kind, colorful, and captivating. #artsandliteracy #visualartsedmatters #keepartfree #nccil

When I moved my studio to Mexico, I didn't bring any of my book's artwork since Xalapa is so humid it destroys anything painted on paper. Last week NCCIL went to SF, where my artwork is stored, & they selected 50+ pieces for their Exhibit. I ladore the title they have chosen !
