Fresh off the Scene: Kids Collaborate with Artists curated by Urban Canvas

After five wonderful years, 3rd Street Kids Club is closing its doors on June 30. Kids Club serves low-income families by providing an after-school program for elementary through middle school youth in the city of Long Beach.

 

Many of the students have been in the program together since Kids Club opened in 2004. As a final project, the students have worked collaboratively with professional artists from throughout southern California to produce “Fresh off the Scene.” The exhibit features 15 individual works of art by fifth through eighth grade students. Each student selected a concept for their piece based on social issues such as the environment, war, and gender equality.

 

All of the program’s other students, who range in age from 5 to 10 years, worked on a mural in collaboration with artist Joseph Fernandez.

 

An opening reception will be held at 4 p.m. on Friday, July 10th at the Pike Rotunda in downtown Long Beach. The exhibit will run through the end of July.

 

“Fresh off the Scene” is an Urban Canvas production and is hosted by the Phantom Galleries LA.

 

Artists collaborations include, Michael Pukac, Joseph Fernandez, Tommi Lim, Lisa Ray, Matt Winkler, Marc Anthony Coronado, Jeni Carle and Jude Vela Diallo
