Thank you so much to MyChildsCancer for featuring our Young Artists’ pieces at Agora Gallery on November 30th! A few of the pieces that will be featured were created with ArtWorks Teaching Artist Steven R. Hazlett during a macrophotography workshop! Steven says of the photo workshops, “I like to think that the patients I work with are left feeling inspired to continue exploring and appreciating the world around them, as if they’re seeing it for the first time. The wonderful thing about macro work in a hospital is that it transports you beyond the barriers of that setting, all through the lens of a camera!”

We are so incredibly appreciative!
