Beach Art
Young at Art takes a Break for Summer
Approximately 300 docents met at the O’Donnell Hall at American Martyrs in mid-May to celebrate another year of bringing art projects to the 7,000 children in Manhattan and Hermosa Beach schools.After six years Cindy Middler and Janie Hindle passed the baton to new co-chairs Marisa Checa and Regina Patton.
The co-chairs thanked each school’s chairmen, introduced the new Executive Board and unveiled the six projets selected by the Design Committee for the 2016-17 school year. The Design Committee solicits over 100 artists to produce art projects suitable for kids pre-K through grade 8 to explore a variety of media, many in the style of famous artists, allowing the kids to learn art history as well as artistic processes.
Young at Art is an all volunteer non profit. For more information contact your school’s PTA.
