Meet the Artist


We are honored to collaborate with Víctor Meléndez, a Seattle-based art director, graphic designer, and illustrator originally from Mexico City. His artwork brings this year’s theme, “Con Valor y Cariño: Advancing Educational Dignity,” to life, creating a visual invitation to gather with courage, care, and community.
