Street Smarts

Picturing Health: Photographs by Teens in Central and Southern California














Opens March 12, with a reception and talk with several of the young artists from 5:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. at Venice Arts gallery. Open through April 30, 2011.

Picturing Health visually explores both the strengths and challenges of 8 Central and Southern California communities as seen through the eyes of teens. Through a two-year project run by Venice Arts with the support of The California Endowment, 80 youth from 8 Central and Southern California communities explored what they felt were barriers to a healthy life including trash-filled streets, lack of park space, teen pregnancy, and the presence of gangs. They also documented community heroes, vibrant culture, friendship, and family.

Please join us as we celebrate their achievements. http://www.venice-arts.org/
