A favorite place to take my daughter when we visit New York is the Children’s Museum of the Arts<\/a> in SOHO. It’s a cheerful and stimulating art space set up for kids of all ages to explore their creative sides and experiment with art making materials.<\/div>\n

In addition to the art studio, CMA always has interesting artwork exhibited on their gallery walls. Last week a collection of 19 paintings created by children in the 1930s were put on display for the first time, alongside recent paintings created by local school children.<\/div>\n

According to The New York Times<\/a>, “19 W.P.A. children\u2019s paintings from New York were donated to the Children\u2019s Museum of the Arts on Lafayette Street in SoHo. The Works Progress Administration<\/a> kept artists employed during the Great Depression<\/a>, teaching the masses. In New York City about 50,000 people a week, mostly children, took free painting and drawing classes at community centers.”<\/div>\n

The Times continues, “The young artists captured details of their daily lives, like rivets on subway cars and filigree brackets on streetlights. They also imagined sandy beaches along the East River and sheep grazing below the\u00a0Coney Island<\/a> roller coaster.\u00a0The teachers, a reporter wrote in 1937, \u201cprefer slum neighborhood classes because they are \u2018much more interesting.\u2019 The work is more imaginative, more unexpected, more mature.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether or not you have tiny artists in tow, stop by CMA (either virtually<\/a> or in person) and check out this unique art exhibit. Few things are as joyful and refreshing as seeing the world through a child’s eyes.<\/div>\n
