Artists show their childhood work for a cause

Ever wonder what your favourite artists made as kids—or if your child may be destined for success as an artist? Head to the exhibition My Kid Could Do that at Red Bull Arts New York tomorrow, 29 April, which features childhood works by artists such as Olafur Eliasson, Will Cotton, Cecily Brown and Rashaad Newsome. The event is put on by ProjectArt, a New York-based non-profit that runs free after-school arts programmes in public libraries in New York, Miami and Detroit. The artist Kiki Valdes—represented in the exhibition by an ellaborate coloured pencil and ink drawing, made at age 11—will lead a workshop for budding artists (of all ages) from 1-3pm. Tonight, 28 April, a special preview event and benefit auction for ProjectArt offers works by some of the artists whose juvenilia is on display, including Dustin Yellin, Wendy White and Sanford Biggers.
