“Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly”
— Langston Hughes
Here at Seeds, we have the pleasure of presenting six new stories by Seeds Scholars, and three new stories from inspirational artists for our July Newsletter. Like many young artists, the scholars consider their future, and the trials and tribulations of being young artistic minds. Read about Laila Whatmore Palmer and how she has always been transfixed by the language of art. Discover Sejung Nam’s moment of realization about what makes him happy, after struggling to fit into American society as a Korean immigrant.
We also have three new inspirational stories from renowned artists Jean-Michel Basquiat, Takashi Murakami, and Shirien Damra. Don’t forget to check out Basquiat’s exhibition King Pleasure featuring 200 never before seen works of art by the artist at the Starrett-Lehigh Building.
See you again next month for our August Newsletter!
