L.A. Art Educator

I love this "Pay it Forward" segment from the local news. The cool part is the reporter Elex Michaelson, who gets the chance to pay it forward, is the son of an awesome local artists here in L.A, Crystal Michaelson who I met from working at a local gallery! All in all, it's a great segment for Art Educators that will make you a little teary!
