Anderson Spotlight: Artist-in-Residence

Longtime Anderson Artist-in-Residence Mr. Robert has been working with Anderson elementary students for over a decade.

His Project Intercambio connects students at The Anderson School with youth from Mr. Robert’s nonprofit organization Arte Fogata in La Paz, Bolivia through collaborative art making. By creating and exchanging artwork, students build meaningful connections, explore Bolivian culture, and share life in New York City. The project also enriches Spanish language learning and fosters curiosity, empathy, and global understanding.

Mr. Robert's Arte Fogata work in the summers in Bolivia creates a space where students explore creativity, build confidence, share their experiences, and connect with the wider world through art and curiosity.

Starting this fall, he hopes to collaborate with Anderson school leadership to create an expanded schedule that best supports students, including the possibility of a lunchtime club with middle school students.
