Children: A CelebrationA celebration of cultural diversity, Children: a Celebration is an exuberant photography exhibit of dignified, happy, healthy children from thirteen countries. These beautiful children, shown in indigenous dress, are the world's vital resource and hope for the future. They are a visual re-creation of the global village we hope to see throughout the world in the new millennium.
Children: a Celebration is an exhibit of 60 large color photographs of children from Guatemala, India, Peru, Ecuador, New Guinea, Kenya, Nepal, Bhutan, Mexico, Tanzania, Bali, Tibet and the United States. The exhibit appeals to all people - from children, parents and grandparents, to teachers and their students. Children from Santa Rosa, California, were involved in choosing the final photographs for the exhibit.
Homeless Shelter Exhibit In 2001, the exhibit was professionally hung at Catholic Charities Family Support Center in Santa Rosa, CA. The stunning presentation is a showcase of hope for the families temporarily residing in the homeless shelter. In addition to raising funds for the center through the sale of the photographs, it raises public awareness of Sonoma County's local children living without the benefit of safe housing. The children at the center, like all of us, see the commonalities in the photographs - all children have hopes, concerns, and dreams. "The pictures make me feel happy," said one homeless youth at the center. The photographs are museum quality. The actual colors and hues of the prints may differ slightly from the screen version you see, and may appear darker than the actual prints. We encourage you to see the original photos if possible. Unframed, small photographs are 11 x 16 inches and the large are 16 x 24 inches. Framed, small photographs are 18 x 24 inches and large are 24 x 32 inches. The cost is the same, framed or unframed, but there are no shipping charges for unframed photographs. Small photographs are $325 and large are $425. (Prices are subject to change.) NEW! Any of the 60 online photographs is available in a large digital format (20 x 30 unframed; 32 x 42 framed). A high quality digital process renders stunning results in these prints, which are framed with the same high quality framing (see Framing, below) and plexiglass. These prints are $895. 
Framing All photographs are framed with a high quality standard frame used for exhibits. The framing is museum quality Neilsen anodized black, style 15. The lip over the photo is 3/8 inch. All photos are signed originals and are mounted directly on high quality white matte paper. Small and large photographs are framed with glass; large digital photographs are famed with plexiglass. If you would like your photograph unframed, please see About the Photographs. When to Expect Your Photograph We do not keep a back-order of prints. After an order is placed, a specialist in museum quality prints reproduces each photograph. Although your order may arrive sooner, we generally fill and ship all orders within 10 to 12 weeks. Photo Pick Up You will be notified when the photograph is ready, and you may pick up the photograph in Santa Rosa California. Tax Deductible Portion of Your Purchase Due to the generosity of Dr. Phil Rasori, who has a special place in his heart for children in need, part of the sale of each photograph helps to fund homeless services provided at Catholic Charities Family Support Center. You will receive an acknowledgment of your purchase and the amount that is tax deductible. For each small photograph purchased, $55 is a tax-deductible donation and for each large photograph purchased, $65 is a tax-deductible donation. For each large digital print, $300 is a tax-deductible donation. Caring for Your Photographs Here are a few important tips to help keep your photograph beautiful.
