If the kids can't/won't come to the art, take the art to the kids! Love this!

A nice article on the Susquehanna Art Museum's VanGo!: Art Museum on Wheels program. The current VanGo! exhibition (Earth, Wind, Fire & Water: Science in Art) includes a piece by one of the loveliest people I know (and a favorite artist) Julianne Swartz. Every school district should be so lucky to have a program like this one.
