The La Villa team decided to capitalize on the artistic talent in this small rural community. The team negotiated with the local school to create an art gallery within the school.

The team emphasized electronic reproduction as part of their project. Recently, team members traveled to visit a number of art galleries in Washington, D.C., including the Smithsonian Institution. They are now in the process of creating a portfolio to document their experience, which will be displayed in the school.
