Missing Children's Day is May 25th, :iconjohnpaulthornton: sent out a request for Guardian Angels back in January johnpaulthornton.deviantart.co…, and I answered the call.

John Paul has been an inspiration for me, his portraits of Missing Children, his dedication to their memory, moves me. As a Guardian, I feel I have a responsibility to not only honor the child depicted in the portrait John Paul is painting, but to my community, to raise awareness...

I have planned an event, I have spoken to local High School Art Classes and asked for students to create a portrait of a missing child. These portraits, along with John Paul's and some of my own, will hang in a local cafe from May 25th until June 25th. There will be an opening reception the night of the 25th of May, I will be inviting local media, and dignitaries to celebrate the young artists and the children they have portrayed.

When I formed this Group, a year ago, I was in an ATC frame of mind, I figured there was no need to abandon the group, simply because it has 'ATC' in its title, but I'm hoping it will not deter others from joining in, or following.

I will keep you posted regarding the upcoming event, I would love to have your submissions pertaining to Missing Children, be they 'traditional' art, or literature, or anything, in-between. As John Paul encourages, be aware and respectful of any missing child you portray. I look forward to seeing what inspires you.

In a time for protecting our Resources, I am reminded that there is no greater Resource than our Children, and no one more responsible for protecting them, than adults.

Hi, I found this on furaffinity: [link] A 10 year old boy ran away from his bus after getting off. His bus driver heard him saying that he was going to run away, but thought nothing of it according to some comments left in the journal that's linked in that submission's artist comment. I think submitting the missing pictures photo is okay to upload if that's how the group helps spread the news

hi claudia :wave:
maybe you could make a separate gallery, and in there link to all of JohnPaulThornton's paintings as well?
