This year's theme of pop culture will allow our artists to work with mass culture, advertising, products, comic books, ideas, and themes that reflect on pop (in the moment) or traditional objects that are associated with culture in general. 

All of the proceeds from the exhibit and sale go to support the Zimmer's arts education initiative youTHink (http://www.youthink.org/), which helps 3,500 students annually utilize the power of art to foster critical thinking about contemporary issues and empowers them to find and use their voices to take action for positive social change. youTHink’s School Services provide art/education lessons in California’s public schools, along with professional development opportunities for teachers. youTHink's Youth Services provide meaningful leadership and community involvement opportunities for middle and high school youth beyond the classroom.

One of the many programs that youTHink offers is its Youth in Action series. Fifty-four middle and high school students completed the Youth in Action project this past Spring. This year’s project was about working to make schools safe or all students.  They partnered with the Southern California Gay Straight Alliance for this project, and students presented a workshop on anti-bullying to teachers at Annenberg High School and to students at John Adams Middle School.
