Description
Founded in 2002, America's Camp (AC) was a one-week summer camp offered free of charge to children who lost a parent or sibling as a result of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 and for children or siblings of firefighters and law enforcement officers lost in the line of duty at any time. It was created to provide a free, high quality, fun and supportive summer camp experience for the children. 2011 was the last summer session for AC. The children of America’s Camp teamed together with Artist in Residence, Traci Molloy, each year for 5 consecutive years, to produce the finished art pieces represented in this exhibit. The artworks were created from 2003-2007. The art projects empowered the children to channel their emotions and grief into profound, collective expressions of art. Approximately 500 different children helped to create the five collaborative art pieces. The exhibition is on view at the Prindle Institute for Ethics and Green Center for Performing Arts from February 22 - April 15, 2013.
