From Ascribe Newsfeed: Can the experience of learning and creating art together strengthen a family? One hundred families in Oakland now believe that it can. An exhibition of the artwork that was created in the workshops, "100 Families Oakland: Art & Social Change," opens at the Oakland Museum of California Saturday, January 20, 2007 (through April 22). Perry's vision of bringing together families through the transformative process of making art included honoring their artwork with an exhibition at a major arts institution. The workshops were led by community artists and CCA students, who found that the families' initial hesitation about making art gradually turned into creative expression. Families and artists from the the "100 Families Oakland" Chinatown workshops will be invited to share their Lunar New Year experiences and highlight their work. The "100 Families Oakland: Art & Social Change" exhibition is among the events planned by the CCA for its centennial, in 2007. The museum will also host "California College of the Arts: 100 Years in the Making," a chronological retrospective of art by alumni and faculty representing Bay Area art and its movements throughout the twentieth century, as seen through the lens of the CCA.
