The Opening Reception of
"How My Family Celebrates the Holidays" was
held on November 29. The
event was a celebration of the opening of the
neighborhood student art exhibit “How My Family
Celebrates the Holidays.” The event flyer is
here.
Art was displayed at the bank through the
following Friday, December 7th. This was a
multi-cultural event displaying the rich diversity
of our neighborhood, as seen through the eyes of its
youngest members. Hundreds of neighbors and
friends came to the event and admired and celebrated our childrens' beautiful artwork.

event and students' artwork by clicking here.
