Girls Inc. Girls’ “Me and My Hands” Project to be Displayed at CreateHere Thursday, March 25, 2010
The first through third graders in Girls Inc. of Chattanooga’s after-school programs at Hardy and Harrison Elementary Schools will be presenting an art exhibit, the “Me and My Hands” Project, to the public at CreateHere this Saturday, March 27 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.
During the project, the girls were asked to think about their hands and what they will use them for in the future. Ultimately, they painted model hands as artistic expressions of their future ambitions. Local artist, Judy Britain, helped plan the project and guided the girls through the designing and painting of their hands. These hands, along with other art projects by the girls and a unity mural by the girls and their families, will be on display at the event.
The project was funded by an Arts Build Communities grant from the Tennessee Arts Commission through Allied Arts of Greater Chattanooga as well as an arts grant from Target stores.
