A town that truly understands the value of art in building a unique, attractive and proud community.

A town that encourages every citizen to express themselves in works of public art.

A place where people of all ages and backgrounds come together to learn new skills with the intention of creating a better tomorrow.

After great success with the first Rainforest Art Program at Seeley Union Elementary School, the school has teamed up with the Rainforest Art Project along with Home Depot and the Naval Air Facility of El Centro, California to open their very own Rainforest Art Center.

The Rainforest Art Center at Seeley has been under construction for the past few months with the goal to begin regular classes at the beginning of 2012. The students and staff at Seeley Union Elementary School are very excited to continue the beautification of their campus and to participate with other Rainforest Art Centers in transforming the Imperial Valley.
