202 - The number of refugees, immigrants and aslyees who participated in BuildaBridge programming during 2014.
112 - Adults
90 - Children
19 - Artists engaged
Over 75% of participants were new to BuildaBridge programming this year and came from over ten countries. The art-making experiences in a community context allow participants to build bridges between their culture and those of others; communicate their stories; share experiences and challenges and most importantly, find the resiliency and hope for for a new beginning here in the U.S.
