This painting from the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Bay Area Now 7 show provides an irrefutable argument for the type of #artsed provided by the Where Art Lives program.

The character in the painting is just absorbed in thought about art. This is a true story repeated time and again. Let’s hear this story and help the student follow their passion. Make school a place where that passion is respected and valued.

Thank you to the artists from the Estria Foundation who contributed their work. http://www.ybca.org/artists/estria-foundation
