An unexpected opportunity arose late last week when there was a sudden opening in the Lombardi Atrium Gallery schedule. Arts and Humanities Director Nancy Morgan invited us to put up work by the kids–and we had just taken down our show at Carroll Square, so the timing was perfect!
There wasm’t room for everything–no sculptures and only some of the flat work–but it’s a great opportunity to enjoy our kids’ thoughtfulness and creativity a little longer! Please enjoy the photos of the gallery below:

Tracy’s Kids at Lombardi 2013
An eleven year old girl whose father had been battling cancer for quite some time participated actively in art therapy sessions provided by Tracy's Kids in Northern Virginia. It is easy to imagine the fear and tension, maybe confusion, that would be in the mind of a child in that situation. One afternoon in early 2009, as the little girl left the art room, she discreetly left behind a Post-it note. Her brief message—a mere nine words—says all that needs to be said about Tracy's Kids.
