Life can be a little “trickier” for foster kids and Art Whino and W.H.A.L.E.R.’s Creation aimed to highlight this at their recent fundraising event, ‘Old Skoolin’ for the Children’. Continuing its trend in joining forces with local charities, Art Whino has been leveraging the best in visual and musical artists to emphasize the power of art to affect change.  In this case, the issue was giving foster children a hand up – something W.H.A.L.E.R Honorary chair, Darryl “DMC” McDaniels, who performed at the event, knows a lot about.
