BAC Teen Gallery Opening Night at the DY Art Center

Hey Everyone! Here are some great photo's (taken by our favorite photographer DFlo!) of our art opening last week. As you can see, there was a lot of LOVE (life is art) in the room. A big THANK YOU to everyone that came out and made it a night to remember!

BAC EXHIBITION AT THE DY ART CENTER

Hey everyone! Last week DreamYard's OSP groups - BAC, BAE and the Hip Hop Rhyme Factory celebrated an evening of art, theater and music. Our current exhibition titled The Who, The What, The How features over fifty pieces of artwork, transforming the DY Art Center into a teen gallery.

Diana's oil paintings pay homage to family, while Sol and Jose's remind us of what is home. Justin's larger than life self portrait asks the viewer- who is in control of your life? Lorena's twist on the Chutes and Ladders game questions what brings you up and what takes you down? While Jay's powerful shadow installation made of paper guns states "no one can censor art." Rounding out the show are Raheem's playful installation's and video's reminding us what's underneath the music, and Christopher's humorous up-and-coming (almost launched!) website: www.WhoTheBookAmI.com.

Over seventy people were in attendance and it was a great evening. Here's a glimpse of the show, which is going to be up for a little while so come on out to the DY Art Center if you haven't had a chance yet!
