8-south-berkeley-youth-art-bench-competiti.html

Youth Spirit Artworks is holding an art competition for Berkeley
youth, giving young people the opportunity to create art designs for
wooden benches along the Adeline Street Corridor in South Berkeley.The
themes for the bench designs need to relate to health and health care
reform since this is part of a health education campaign in South and
West Berkeley addressing health disparities in our community. The
bench designs chosen will be painted on nine local benches in 2008.
The name of the artist/designer will be designated on each bench.
Designs will be accepted through June 8th. Prizes are available for
the top three designs chosen. For information contact:
