BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA….Over one hundred people joined us on November 13, 2003 to celebrate the opening of our new gallery, Young at Art. Board chair and cofounder Robert Hass read several poems from our annual anthology of children’s poetry to the assembled guests, gathered in the grand (but funky) lobby of our building, a ninety-year old former mattress factory.

Come visit the gallery whenever you are in the Berkeley area!

Hours:
