I was happy to photograph the opening of a new art exhibit in Oakland last week.
OurTown: Oakland Through the Eyes of a Child is a collection of art created by the children at the
Lincoln Child Center. The Lincoln Child Center
enables vulnerable and emotionally troubled children and their families to lead independent and fulfilling lives. Their belief in the skills encouraged by art – creative problem-solving, the ability to take multiple perspectives, understanding that solutions must change with circumstance – are the very skills needed to succeed academically and socially. I completely agree.
