Hallisey decided he wanted Arts-Kids to reach out to the local Hispanic and Latino population (which makes up 11 percent of Summit County’s total according a 2017 Census estimate) after his nonprofit, along with Big Brothers, Big Sisters Utah and Holy Cross Ministries, were the finalists for the Park City Community Foundation’s Women’s Giving Fund grant. “We want to make sure we are serving that part of the population and giving them an outlet,” Hallisey said. “So we want to find artists who are versed in traditional artforms of (Latin-American) countries.” Although Big Brothers, Big Sisters took home the $33,000 grant, an anonymous donor gifted $5,000 to both ArtsKids and Holy Cross. Thanks to the nominations, the three organizations formed a bond and decided to work together, Hallisey said. “We will collaborate with them to do something for the good of the whole community, because we want to serve all kids in Summit County school programs including preschoolers and middle school students,” Hallisey said. “We want them to express themselves through art, any artform. We want to give them a forum to use their voices and to help them realize they have a voice and (that) kids have more impact on the community than they think.” Hallisey hopes Latino Education Fun Night, while designed to help children of first-generation immigrants, will help their parents feel a TANZI PROPST/PARK RECORD Bryan Sedano Molina, left, and his brother Jonathan Sedano Molina use creativity skills to stack orange buckets during Arts-Kids Hispanic Family Night party.

We want them to feel more comfortable with being here in the community.” In addition to Latino artists, Hallisey is seeking artists with other backgrounds, including Pacific Islander and Asian cultures. “We have artists in Park City and Summit County that have different cultural arts backgrounds, and we want to expose kids to these cultures,” Hallisey said.
