HEART for H O P E in 2015

HOPE. DREAM. INSPIRE. through the eyes of youth's ART

“Imagination is more important than knowledge...Logic will take you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere...” - Albert Elinstein

As a mother of 4 children ages range from 17 to 30 years old, I’ve learned that it’s important we teaches our kids how to think and not what to think. One of the great way to let children practice how to think is through art creativity and let their imagination un-leash.

Arts allow the child to experiment, to invent, to grow, take risks, break rules, make mistakes and still have fun at the same time.

Glad to share that City of Hope present an Art Exhibition Tour in 2015 from 3-14 to 5-31 throughout our community. The organizer LaJaJa kids explain at their press conference on 1-21-15 in Arcadia, that the exhibit is not a contest, rather a showcase.

Stephanie Neuvirth, Chief Human Resource and Diversity Officer from City of Hope made her remark to the press, “HEART for Hope 2015 is a large scale community youth arts movement that motivates young people to express their visions of “dream, hope and inspiration” through the creation of beautiful display art. This special annual art program is NOT a contest.”
