I took these pictures of a screen printing demonstration at The Youth CineMedia Hip Hop Summit. The summit was held on February 10, 2007, at the University of California's MultiCultural Center in Santa Barbara, California. It offered the public a hands-on exploration of hip hop through music/video production, graffiti/stencil art and t-shirt printing. My nephew Michael aka DoSiA, also performed later that day in a hiphop "battle". He won, of course. Yeah, he's that good.
Youth CineMedia (YCM) gives at-risk kids hope, provides real-world technical training businesses are looking for in future employees, Reduces crime, violence and graffiti, and pulls kids out of the juvenile justice system. YCM is funded through grants, individual, corporate donations and client services. For more information about Youth CineMedia, please visit the website. (Somehow this turned into a public service announcement.)

Have never heard of this organization... Glad there is one stressing the arts as well as environment...
The local branch has helped a lot of youth kids, including my nephew. They teach children to positive ways to channel their energies in positive directions. It did wonders for Michael, who is now pursuing a music career.
