About the Members of Kids Collective
Olivia Garisto , 16 , 11th Grade , Communications.
I see myself as liberal-feminist-artist-teenager, who has enough time on their hands to put together an entire art auction. I have a dream of being a tattoo artist, but I can always keep the promise of being a broke creator no matter what I chose to do. This art auction has given me a chance to prove to myself that I have the ability to have decent communication skills. As an individual who has struggled to make basic human contact for years, having the opportunity to write hundreds of emails and hold tons of meetings has definitely helped me. |

I'm a nerd but, like, a nerd who likes to exercise a lot. So a buff nerd! It seems surreal to think that we achieved what we have in this project and I am so proud of my group and those we collaborated with for our outcome, which as of now is a minimum of around $600 for Animal Rescue, Inc. The experience was super great for me and it grew my learning capacity and developed me further as a person. I am so glad to have been a part of all this and I am thrilled about the amount of money we raised as well as the bonds we made along the way to getting there. The opportunity Apollo has granted me had been fantastic and I wouldn't change it. |

I’m your stereotypical art kid with high ambitions. I enjoy being involved with my school’s performing arts department, creating, pop culture, and reading. My goal is to go to art school for animation, comic artistry, or for tv/movie/theater production (I really have no idea what I want to do. Who knows maybe it’ll be something else. I’ll figure it out). I’ve wanted to get involved in Downtown York’s art scene for a very long time, and this opportunity left me over the moon. This art auction also proved to me that I can do the things that I set my mind to, no matter how daring it is, or how much I think my social anxiety will limit me. Being a vegetarian for the past eight years, and helping animals is also a big plus. |

I'm an artist who has been seriously creating ever since the death of my mother in 2011. I started painting with watercolors and advanced from there, my early work resembled similarities of abstract expressionism styles. I'm very interested in the alternative scene and pop culture and I love animals! |
