{The First Family: Takes A Walk to The Museum}

The "First Family" is all smiles as they take a walk from the White House to the museum. Sasha, Mrs. Obama, President Obama and Malia all scroll through Washington D.C with happiest written all over their faces. The family outing led them to 'The Corcoran Gallery of Art'. Which happens to only be a few blocks away from the White House House.

The Obama's took interest in the show '30 Americans', an exhibition of contemporary African American Artist. It's a wide range of work by many of the most important African American Artist in past three decades. The main focus of '30 Americans' is the racial, sexual, and historical identity in the contemporary culture. All the art is selected from the "Rubell Family Collection", which was established in 1964 in New York City. The Rubell collection is on of the world's largest, privately owned contemporary art collections. This collection of art dictates the way the artists views black identity in America. Like, civil rights, pop culture, and media imagery. While adding it's knowledge, love and artistic legacy & influence.

The exhibit includes work from: Jean-Michel Basquiat and David Hammons. Also, upcoming youthful artist like Kehinde Wiley and Shinique Smith.
