| I
acted as Artist-in-Residence at Yesler Community Center in
Seattle and developed an arts program for the children there.
I worked with kids from Big Brothers of King County. The artwork
from these programs was exhibited at the Pacific Arts Center
and the Children's Museum. Most of the pieces sold and the
proceeds went directly to the children and their families.
Project
money was used for clotheslines of new children's clothing
that were installed at two Seattle Public Libraries and the
Children's Museum. Neighborhood House (an organization who
works with low-income families) distributed the clothes to
kids in the Yesler area just prior to the new school year.
The
children and I did a video of them telling stories and jokes
titled, "Can a Hamburger Marry a Hot-dog?". Finally,
some money was donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation as part
of the project.
Our
project received a great deal of positive attention from the
media which was beneficial for the children and the organizations
involved.
