Some of my best childhood memories are from going to public grade school. Receiving my weekly mimeographed schedule of to-dos (homework, meeting days for certain subjects, project due dates etc.), Making friends was hard, but learning was fun. and figuring out how I would get it done on my own time.

The Little Golden books from my childhood, non-fiction books that revolutionized my perspective of the world and novels that I rarely take the luxury of reading. The art of storytelling though, and documenting an event or a slice of time is, of course, not restricted to bound pages. Dollars help make independent projects possible.

The common museum knowledge on this issue is that adults are timid, that we have lost some of the wonder, impulsiveness, and active creativity of childhood days. We've been trying to actively combat this at The Museum of Art & History (MAH) in Santa Cruz. But I don't think that theory holds up.

But today I had an experience that reinvigorated my love for and belief in tangible projects that can fill museums with content that is user-generated, shared, and explored. I heard Frank Warren speak at the American Visionary Art Museum. In 2004, for DC’s Art-o-Matic community show, he initiated an experiment called PostSecret.

Sheroes in the Arts. Despite her family's affluence, Lorraine Hansberry's childhood in Chicago during the 1930s was not without hardship, discrimination, and segregation. Gentileschi is remembered, however, as an accomplished Baroque artist whose trials did not define her art. Are you inspired by women in the arts?

Raising money to support various projects, groups, and programs can be tough, especially with a small congregation. And with remote learning still in full swing, you can bet grownups would be willing to pay big bucks for a little extra help with school projects! Hold a work-a-thon.

The exhibition is varied, lively, and the art is of high quality. It feels like a vibrant art show. Perhaps the most well-thought-out piece of this project is its web component. I asked Brandon how this project differed from other shows with which she has been involved. How good could it be? I could be a part of this.

I was born in the Democratic Republic of Congo and at the age of five my father passed away suddenly. When I was 18, I went back to DRC and was reunited with my mother.
