I hope your holiday was exciting and wonderful!
Hopefully it was as exciting and wonderful as the imagined meet-up pictured above in which Arts & Smarts participant Jhovani met LA Lakers star Labron James. The drawing was created by Jhovani’s brother Chayenne to decorate Jhovani’s bag used to carry home his gifts for his family. I thought it was wonderful that the drawing itself was a gift from one brother to another. When drawn on a gift bag, it became a gift on top of gifts!
Patchwork is closed for the holidays from December 24-January 4. Our morning programming will begin again for the new year on January 5. Our Arts & Smarts Children’s Program will begin again on January 12.
In the meantime, you might be interested in listening to two new podcasts by one of Patchwork’s founders, Phil Amerson. In these podcasts, he interviews two of Patchwork’s other founders: Calvin and Nelia Kimbrough. You can listen to part one by clicking here and part two by clicking here.
If you missed it earlier, Phil interviewed John and I for his podcast earlier this fall. You can also listen to part one and part two of those episodes.
