I came across a short article about this man on the Wall Street Journal website. The article describes how this artist used his compassion to help transform lives of Pittsburgh youth by teaching them art related skills and values. He began this project after graduating from college in the seventies. Subsequently his organization grew and now has centers in Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Cincinnati, and Grand Rapids.
Mr. Stickland won the MacArthur Genius award for economic development in honor of all the good work he has done and continues to do. Wow!! You can check out the organization's website here.
