One of the greatest strengths to the success of Mariposa’s Art are our classroom Facilitators. Because of the small class size and year-long involvement, our facilitators provide our youth with role models, close mentor relationships, and a caring adult that they look forward to seeing all week long. Each facilitator is an accomplished artist, dancer, or musician with a strong classroom teaching background, amazing skills of patience and humor, and love of teaching youth.   Staff Page is currently under construction   Amanda Triplett Program Director Amanda graduated with a Bachelors of Art in Fine Art from Sarah Lawrence College.
