New Roger Goldenberg Painting

Philanthropist Tom Haas has partnered with artist Roger Goldenberg to place his artwork in children's museums throughout the nation.” Habitot Children’s Museum is a lucky Recipient of Shel Game, The Big O vs, The Missing Pieces”.

The inspiration for this ongoing project was Tom’s ten year old son, Tommy. Tommy loves to imagine creatures, animals and stories that he sees in Roger’s painting, which hangs in his bedroom. Tom wanted to share this excitement for Roger’s artwork with other children by donating a piece to children’s museums.

Goldenberg’s paintings have a tempo, tone, and color that correlate with his love of nature and music, especially jazz. His use of color, shape, texture, movement, and rhythm create ‘mindscapes' allowing the viewer to actively engage and experience the artwork. Cutout and jigsaw puzzle shapes, texture and shadows allow the viewer to imagine shapes and create stories. Early exposure to art deepens understanding and encourages a life long love of the arts.

Proudly hung next to our art studio, this colorful and vibrant artwork is the first piece in our art collection. We are hoping to expand our collection with pieces by local and national artists that will encourage creativity and spark the imagination of young minds.
