Catch the opening of Engaging BVHP Youth on Friday at ART 94124. The exhibit brings together two unique, local art projects that engage youth from Bayview Hunters Point. "Welcome to the NeighborHOOD, A Community Arts Project" and "Celebrating Civic Leaders" both use art to connect the dots between oneself and the community, while drawing attention to the neighborhood, our surroundings, and the people that live here. "Welcome to the NeighborHOOD, A Community Arts Project" is a multimedia urban experience—a social and environmental exploration in how art can inspire communities and environmental sustainability. "Celebrating Civic Leaders" was a theatrical production, recorded oral histories, and an art exhibition presented by students of Willie Brown Jr. Academy and community elders.
