All Stars Project INC.

This summer, All Stars Project president and CEO Gabrielle L. Kurlander will lead an advanced program for young people ages 18 to 25 who have distinguished themselves by virtue of their leadership. The summer program called The Art of Painting the World in Different Colors is an advanced course of study, preparing young people to be successful in our diverse and demanding world, to develop a worldly persona, and to perform wherever life takes them.

During the month-long program the young people will go on a series of field trips and hear from  business, artistic and education leaders, receiving hands-on coaching from these top professionals who have achieved success in their fields. With the breakthrough election of Barack Obama as president of the United States, our global

community has truly become a world of different colors, and being sophisticated is an essential ingredient to being a success. As with all the All Stars programs, its goal is to help young people to develop and grow and to become more worldly and cosmopolitan.

In 2009, The Art of Painting the World in Different Colors featured conversations with special guests like businessman, philanthropist, and former CEO of AT&T, C. Michael Armstrong; writer and magazine publisher, Jacqueline Salit; painter and graphic designer, Alison Josephs; jazz pianist/composer, Dr. Billy Taylor; New York State Senator Bill Perkins (D-Harlem); President and Chief Executive Officer of the Apollo Theater Foundation, Jonelle Procope; philosopher and co-founder of the All Stars Project, Dr. Fred Newman, and China expert, Dan Rosen.
