​Teaching Artist, Madona Cole-Lacy’s response to a need for solid cultural and social art-related programs for children, parents and educators comes in form of My Time Has Come Program. Ms. Cole-Lacy, presents and facilitates art related multi-cultural and educational programs and workshops which foster appreciation, sensitivity, sense of self, tolerance to racial, cultural, ethnic and generational issues. These programs are primarily offered in the form of hands-on surface design workshops, motivational workshops and multi-cultural presentations to people of all age groups in venues such as schools, libraries, cultural arts centers, senior centers and museums throughout the United States. “My aim is to use art, culture and education as a vehicle through which society can develop and maintain self-esteem as well as cultivate racial/ethnic and generational/tolerance” 
Madona Cole-Lacy, M.A.Ed. -Teaching Artist-

Ms. Cole-Lacy aims to use the extensive professional experience and skills gained from working with youth in the classroom, at-risk-youth, juvenile delinquents, youth from various ethnic and socio-economic communities, special education and gifted youth population, towards this end.
