I want to introduce you to Theo Bunch, an artist studying at the Kansas City Art Institute. (Theo is the tall guy in the picture.)Theo is a founding member of ArtPlay, a group of about 40 artists whose mission is to remake the urban environment through promoting the interplay of art into everyday life. One of their initiatives is the development of urban gardens. Theo and his colleagues are helping DeLaSalle students to incorporate such "living" art into their coursework and futures. We all know that "green" jobs are expected to be a strong economic force in the future. Theo hopes to insure that DeLaSalle students are at the forefront of this important cultural and economic change engine. We're grateful for the great help of Theo and ArtPlay and other environmental visionaries who have been so helpful to our mission of remaking the lives of urban youth through education!
