Puffin Foundation West, Ltd. (PFW) will help sponsor the City of Columbus’ Community Relations Commission’s (CRC) Sixth Annual juried art exhibit for Franklin County Middle and High School students (grades 6-12) which will feature 50 pieces of art celebrating Reverend Dr. Martin Luther’s King’s legacy. In these times we are once more called upon to save the troubled soul of America by reapplying Dr. King’s mission and spirit to the issues of today. We are very supportive of the CRC’s efforts to engage our City’s youth in this project and believe that exposing them to MLK’s “DREAM” will inspire them to work for change and to stand up and speak out for what they believe in. This open invitation to our County’s youth to produce art that deals with issues of immigration, same-sex marriage, GLBT rights, privacy, child labor, human trafficking, worker’s rights, economic rights and civil rights will help stimulate a dialogue and provide our City’s young people with a meaningful insight into their own lives and communities. We are certain that those who are able to see the Exhibit at City Hall 15Jan-26Feb13 will gain strength in their conviction that they can peaceably transform our society through the language of ART by channeling the courage and accomplishments of MLK.
