Le Jardin A L'Ouest
A sister company to Jardin Galerie, Le
Jardin A L'Ouest was founded in 1971 by John Hiigli and his wife Dominique
Hiigli. The children that attend Le Jardin contribute regularly to a special
exhibit all for them called Running
Stream. Each child's file is a record of his/her development over time with
the most recent work at the top.

The Children’s Art Carnival (CAC)
Located in a small townhouse on a quiet street in historic
Harlem, just off the banks of the Hudson River. The
Children's Art Carnival is a nationally recognized community based arts
program founded by Betty Blayton-Taylor. Its mission is to foster creative
thinking through the arts, to stimulate a love of learning for education
in general, and to provide beauty and discipline in the lives of young people.
Originally an outreach program of the Museum of Modern Art, CAC has existed
as an independent community school for the past 26 years. Faculty believe creative
thinking is a necessary ingredient of intellectual development. Theme-based
arts activities draw on collage, puppetry, 3-D construction, painting, ceramics,
photography, videography, cartooning, illustration, drama, textile design,
computer graphics and other media. CAC programs include in-school, after-school
and Saturday programs for youth, teacher training workshops and parent advocacy.
On February 11 2004 Jardin Galerie held their first joint exhibition focused
around the theme of family. Since then we have collaborated six more times
in just two years.

Lycee Francais
In addition to these International sites Jardin Galerie has partnered with
many local New York City schools. Our very first such show was with the Lycee
Francais de New York on March 26 2000. The
Lycee Francais de New York was founded in 1935 with three classes and two
dozen students but has grown steadily and is now housed in a new modern building
designed by the same architect who designed the Rose center at the Museum of
Natural History. While the mission of the LFNY is to prepare children to be
responsible citizens with a thorough knowledge of the French language and culture,
the English program aims at incorporating the essential elements of an American
education. It is this blending of these two goals which has given birth to
their new and thoroughly modern school on the east side of Manhattan. Our spring
show on March 23, 2006 with the Lycee Francais (Day Skies/Night Skies) marked
the fifth collaborative effort involving Le Jardin a l’Ouest, Lycee Francais
de New York, and Jardin Galerie.

neighborhood after school art program several times, mounting very interesting

Sake, Debbe Heler-Lewkowicz called My Secret Garden on March 3 2005. For Art’s
Sake includes children of all ages from all the major West Side public schools
and many private schools as well including Crossroads Middle School, Calhoun,
