In these times of gangs, drugs, crime, violence and war, it is essential that we make efforts to ensure a more peaceful future for our children. We feel it is imperative that we teach our children kindness, compassion and empathy for all living beings. When a child meets another, looking different than themselves, with perhaps a different religion, race, sex, or language, if that child knows that we are all the same on the inside, then perhaps that child will accept the other and we will be…
In these times of gangs, drugs, crime, violence and war, it is essential that we make efforts to ensure a more peaceful future for our children. We feel it is imperative that we teach our children kindness, compassion and empathy for all living beings. When a child meets another, looking different than themselves, with perhaps a different religion, race, sex, or language, if that child knows that we are all the same on the inside, then perhaps that child will accept the other and we will be closer to having peace on earth.
At The Gentle Barn, we work with children from the inner-city, group homes, mental health care facilities, foster homes, and schools to teach them that even though we are all different on the outside, on the inside we are all the same and are deserving of the same rights, respects and freedom.

NYE 2014 LA Grand Park Projection Mapping Event
More than 10,000 people gathered in downtown Los Angeles’ Grand
Park for a grand-scale 12-block New Year’s Eve celebration, “Grand Park’s N.Y.E. LA.” The park’s first New Year’s Eve event introduced Angelenos to a new tradition, the opportunity to gather together in a

Park for a grand-scale 12-block New Year’s Eve celebration, “Grand Park’s N.Y.E. LA.” The park’s first New Year’s Eve event introduced Angelenos to a new tradition, the opportunity to gather together in a
central location for free where they could ring in the New Year all together. Guests enjoyed music anddance performances; interactive visual arts installations commissioned especially for the event by Grand
Park; roving performing artists; an interactive photo booth, where guests could see their New Year’s wishes projected high above the park; food trucks; and more. The evening culminated with a countdown to
midnight, in which Grand Park made its mark on the New Year with a brilliant and powerful projection mapping presentation. New Year’s Eve revelers were amazed when 22 stories of Los Angeles’ iconic City
Hall became the dynamic canvas for the highly artistic digital projection presentation, the size and scope of which have not been seen to date on the West Coast.Other creatorsSee project -
Vice Creators Project Story about NYELA 2014
In light of Time Square saturation in New York and fireworks eclipsing the Opera House in Sydney, Los Angeles has never been a contender for its NYE festivities. Which is a bit of a surprise, considering Hollywood exists solely to churn out spectacles of entertainment (often including those Batman-friendly sky projection lights). But going into 2014, every past perception of LA’s role in the Gregorian calendar’s summit is going to change.

Which is a bit of a surprise, considering Hollywood exists solely to churn out spectacles of entertainment (often including those Batman-friendly sky projection lights). But going into 2014, every past perception of LA’s role in the Gregorian calendar’s summit is going to change.
At midnight on December 31st, Downtown’s iconic City Hall building will disappear beneath a sheet of animations, neon, graphics and more, as part of Grand Park’s first NYE celebration. Resulting from a collaboration between LA-based media group Idea Giants and park coordinators, five 3D animators and digital artists created a projection mapping show which will engulf the tower and begin 2k14 with the biggest digital performance art piece of its kind ever performed on the West Coast.Other creatorsSee project
