How Art Can Save Schools and Their Students | Robert de los Rios

The Raw Project has played a HUGE role in improving schools by putting art all over the building. That attracted more students and helped them be proud of their school which led to improved grades, attendance, and overall well-being of students. And that also attracted more funding which is used for new classes and extracurricular activities for students. In this episode, Robert de los Rios, along with Cristhian Saravia aka Golden 305, talked to us about how he started the Raw Project, the impact it had on kids, issues troubling Wynwood, and solutions on how to fix it, and the history of this iconic place in Miami. If you're an art enthusiast or love Wynwood, this is a must-watch!
