EXHIBITION
Dadaism and Surrealism: An Exploration of Self Discovery
Art by children from the Children’s Shelter of Santa Clara
September 8 - October 28
Visit the Dada House, a building with only one
function – art. Many of the residents have
described the Children’s Shelter as the only
place they have felt at home. This Dada house,
created by residents, is a positive symbol of
home and safety. Within the brushstrokes and
designs are the creative marks of many
courageous, resilient young lives. Woven within
the artwork are the children’s stories.
Reception

Meet the artists and create your own images of home.
