“Marco Santini’s visit was inspiring for all of us at Hubbard Woods School. His 30 minute introduction taught us that art is everywhere and we should follow our passions-wherever they may lead us. This presentation was done in a developmentally appropriate way so that the message could touch all of our students from first through fourth grade. Marco created small murals with our students based on words of positivity. The students were thoroughly engaged from start to finish. His message has continued to inspire all of us to spread love and positivity throughout our community and our world.”

“Marco has a natural ability to communicate and his message of positivity literally shines through
his being and into the hearts of all around him... My students were buzzing with happiness and eager to listen and begin creating alongside him. As he worked with each class, Marco made it clear that there were no mistakes, no rules, only respect for one another and positive affirmations. His positive message truly inspired my students and stayed with them long after his departure....At a time when schools are looking for ways to socially and
emotionally connect students, Marco’s message of spreading love and positivity through the
process of art is essential, powerful and therapeutic.”
