Long Beach Unified School District (LBUSD) middle school students were invited by the Long Beach Museum of Art (LBMA) to submit works of art that focused on the restoration of the Los Angeles River, the museum announced today.<\/p>\n

My City, My River<\/em> is inspired by the current renovation led by renowned architect, Frank Gehry<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Every year, the LBMA curates two exhibitions, one for LBUSD middle school students and one for high school students, said Lisa Marsh, director of education and visitor services.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that it is important for students to have a safe platform to express their thoughts and ideas in creative ways,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Art and science students were asked to connect the revitalization of the L.A. River to the theme of community green space. Of those who submitted, 55 pieces were selected by the museum to be shown, featuring works by students at Franklin, Hoover, Powell, Rogers and Tincher middle schools, according to the announcement.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeeing this from a young student\u2019s point of view makes clear that many of them would like to have green spaces throughout their communities,\u201d Marsh said.<\/p>\n
