If Art Could Talk, What Would Barack Obama Say?

"If Art Could Talk, What Would Barack Obama Say?" was the theme for the art show/auction with the procedes benefitting The Dream Scholarship Fund.

I had the unique opportunity last night as a volunteer to shoot the art benefit held at the Steel Art Gallery in Chicago, IL. Several very talented local artists donated paintings and drawings, along with body painting, food, music, and fabulous goody bags to "raise dollars for scholars."

Lorri Stacker did an excellent job organizing, and there was an excellent turnout!
