The DotWell Teen Center was awarded with a grant from the 84 project to celebrate the fact that 84% of Massachusetts teens choose not to smoke.
 DotWell Teen Center will present an art exhibit entitled "The 84" to display teen art projects around the theme "Why I'm a part of the 84." 84 paintings, drawings, collages, and sculptures created by 84 teens will explain why they choose to be non-smokers. Teens reasons include "I wouldn't be able to play basketball as well if I smoked and had trouble running and breathing," and "If I smelled like smoke, my girlfriend wouldn't kiss me.  The projects will be judged by Teen Center peer leaders and winners will each be awarded $84. Please stop by to view the projects, invite local youth, and teens are welcome to visit the Teen Center for 84 open art studio all week if they are interested in creating and displaying a project.
