Hopefully, the long-term impact of 100 Families will be a lasting impression of ways for family to come together, even if it's not them coming together around the art again. But just ways of dealing with one another, remembering how they talked with each other.

The most important thing with 100 Families is to be able to instill in these youth and in these parents a means to really look at the rest of the world. It's not just simply about drawing or painting, but really also to explore themselves.

I’m a single parent, so it’s real hard. I have to work a lot to provide for my daughter… This is great because we had some time to do something that she likes, that she really likes.

Before we were part of this program we were neighbors but we really didn’t speak to each other because I don’t speak Spanish. However, now that we’re in this program, we’re started talking to each other more and more when we see each other in the neighborhood. So it’s helped our relationship as neighbors.

I liked having the opportunity to bond with my son, so we can be closer. This was a good way for their parents to get to spend more time with the kids and get to know their children and their children’s interests and ideas better.
