Amino Justice art exhibit

Living Histories has been working with Green Dot charter school's Animo Justice and Bunch the past several weeks, presenting a photography class. Our students recently held an exhibit of their work at a local Starbuck's, check out teacher Jennifer Moon's write up below:

The opening reception for the Transference group exhibition, featuring artists from Animo Justice and Animo Bunche high schools, was an absolute success! It was a lovely evening of artists, family, friends and colleagues supporting the arts. Thank you Stephanie Torres and Starbucks for hosting this beautiful exhibition of photographic work! Below are highlights of the evening.
