Here is my first post with some interesting articles I found...

We spend time each year in New Orleans with dear friends, so when I saw this article it automatically caught my eye. Hurricane Katrina is usually written about because of the extensive destruction and suffering that went on, so I was happy to read this article knowing that artists made use of the rubble to make art, and raise the community up!

I was thinking about ways to show art in new and different ways that coincide with my after school art program. At first I was thinking of building a box to hang on the wall outside of my studio, in the alleyway, so any passerby can see what the kids are up to. Then I came across this article which is another innovative way to get people just walking the street to look at art!
