Each academic year, the USC Fisher Museum of Art plans, curates, and professionally installs four temporary student art exhibitions at the University Village Shopping Center food court for the Art in the Village program.

For this year's first exhibition, elementary school kids belonging to the USC Family of Schools (32nd Street/USC Magnet, Alexander Science Center School, Foshay Learning Center, John Mack Elementary, Norwood Elementary, St. Agnes Parish School, St. Vincent Parish School, Vermont Avenue Elementary and Weemes Elementary) were invited to create and submit artwork fitting the theme "Color Me..."

Each exhibition kicks off with an opening reception honoring the forty students with the best artwork. The children have the opportunity to speak with family, friends and community members about their artwork. They are congratulated for their achievements during an award ceremony, where they receive a certificate signed by Los Angeles City Councilman Bernard C. Parks. 

Funded in part by a USC Neighborhood Outreach Grant, Art in the Village represents a partnership between the USC Fisher Museum of Art the University Village Shopping Center and the USC Family of Schools.
