The Greater Houston area was selected for the program because the area is still struggling to recover from the impact of Hurricane Harvey last year. The Arte de Bulgari program, designed to help children develop self-confidence and self-awareness, will enable social-emotional learning though the arts. Everything from dance to theater, sculpture, painting, photography, visual arts and more will be offered to the children. Additionally, for this program, Bulgari and Save the Children have tapped local artist and experts from the community.

Bulgari North America is proud to announce the next chapter in our incredible 10 year partnership with Save the Children with the introduction of Arte di Bulgari, says Daniel Paltridge, President of Bulgari North America. The arts are fundamental to the Bulgari brand identity, so supporting the arts through childhood education is a natural mission for us.
