A Glimpse through the Eye.
An eye is an expression to interact with a human soul. By looking into someone's eyes, you can sometime gain insight into their thoughts and feelings making a connection. Regardless of culture, ethnicity, or background, the eye will remain the same reminding us even by being different as individuals we are all part of the same human family.

ACT Art Gallery

This gallery was created to allow for community healing through the eyes of children and to make the voice of children heard. Art and creativity are strong ways in which humans can express in order to makes sense of and reflect on the elements of life and being human.
