art pen pals

Here is a little about the project: LCC Art Happening --- Art Pen Pals I am starting a project called “Art Pen Pals” whereby artists (from JFK’s Department of Arts and Consciousness) will exchange art and writings (e.g., poetry, letters, stories, etc.) with children who live at Lincoln Child Center. The project will run from Feb 6th-May 11th 2007. Art/Letters will be exchanged bi-weekly. At the end of the project we will have a gathering where mentors and their art pen pals will meet. Partners will create an art book together consisting of artwork that the child will keep. The workshop will be on May 5th/11th at JFK’s Berkeley campus studio 1. The size of the artwork or written word should be smaller than 8” x 10”. I will serve as the liaison, and I will pick up the work at JFK to deliver to Lincoln. I will also collect the work from the kids and return it back to JFK. This is an exciting project with boundless potential. Namaste, Lisa Rasmussen
