The 'Art in All of Us' photo exhibit now on display in UNICEF's Danny Kaye Visitors' Centre is based on a new book that features children's photography, poetry and art. UNICEF has provided global support for this project, and Ms. Veneman wrote the book's foreword.

UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Lucy Liu and director Guy Jacobson were also on hand to introduce their film, 'Red Light'. It is part of the International Children's Rights Documentary Film Festival, which will continue through December.
