Recently, Young Arts hosted an opening reception for an exhibit of art by school children. My niece was one of the children whose art was shown. It was such a thrilling event! All the kids turned into little stars when they saw their art on the wall of the gallery. It was a real reception for them. Food and drinks, a photographer, beautifully displayed art. This event worked miracles on my nieces self-esteem. Young Arts brings art to kids and exhibits their art in order to make them feel good about themselves. I was witness to how well this concept works.
