IAA Family Portrait Project: Celebrating Diversity
The staff and administration at the Integrated Arts Academy (IAA) believe that students can only achieve academic success when they work together in a safe and caring environment. As a core principle, IAA embraces family diversity, recognizing the powerful impact that an inclusive environment has on students and student learning.
This principle was the inspiration behind the IAA Family Portrait Project, a collaboration between IAA, Burlington City Arts, and the PTO.
Michelle Saffran's photographs of IAA student families are coupled with stories written by students. Through this project, children from more than 20 countries express unique perspectives on what makes a family special.
The collaborative pieces will be exhibited in Burlington during May. Stop by City Hall and businesses in the Old North End to experience these deeply personal and creative works. Find out more about the
