Houston Hospital Exchange

 

In 2008 TFAA in partnership with the Texas Childrens Cancer Center and Hematology Center  (TCCC) invited two French artists to come to Houston and create two pieces of artwork with the children undergoing treatment at the TCCC.

Today TFAA is at it again welcoming French artist Gerald Wagner to the Texas Children's Cancer and Hematology Center to work on an art project with the children here. Mr. Wagner created an exciting project, he made a dark room in the lobby of the cancer center and showed the children how to take photos without a camera! The art work done with Mr. Gerarld Wagner was brought to Houston by TFAA and is being exhibited.

 Below are pictures of the Exhibit put together by Mr. Wagner using the photograms created by the artist and the children.
