’’Hope in the World”
Sculpture
The "Hope in the World" project was
designed to encourage children in this
community to look forward to the future
rather than focusing on the negative fore­
casts.
In the North Portland Branch Library,
each Saturday since November 11, 1989,
children ages 5-13, have been developing
their creative processes to realize their own
expectations and hopes. To help them know
that a world of hope can only be a world of
understanding, they were treated to foods
from different cultures. Sometimes guest
stalked to the children about the food and
traditions of their culture.
Sculptor Charles Tatum gave his time
and energy to help develop the children’s
artistic abilities. The result of their collec­
tive efforts is a sculpture that they are
donating to the library.
The Collaborative Arts Workshop and
Multnomah County Library invite you to
attend the unveiling of the "H ope in the
World Sculpture on March 10, 1990, 2:30
p.m. at the North Portland Branch,
