BOSTON (CBS) – Sometimes kids have a hard time expressing themselves, especially when it comes to dealing with difficult issues they’re facing. It seems art may help them.

An exhibit just opened at the Wheelock College Towne Art Gallery called, “Being Ubuntu: The Youth Speak.”

The college students are helping mentor these kids. Along with an artist, the children can express themselves in a form they can share and that will last forever.

You can go check out their work for yourself. The exhibit will be open afternoons at the Towne Art Gallery at Wheelock College until April 19th.
