Life Pieces To Masterpieces Apprentices Featured in Black Gives Back Blog

On Saturday, January 16, 2010, California Pizza Kitchen at Pentagon City Mall in Arlington, Virginia opened up its restaurant between the hours of 9am - 10:30am for a National Mentoring Month activity for mentors and mentees involved in the Life Pieces to Masterpieces arts program. Life Pieces to Masterpieces is a Washington, DC-based nonprofit that lets African-American males channel their energy into art. Mentees and mentors had the opportunity to tour the restaurant, make mini pizzas, and design pizza boxes in honor of National Mentoring Month. International artist Lisa Jones (http://www.lisajonesaworkinprogress.me/) continued her support of the Life Pieces to Masterpieces program by designing a few boxes that will be auctioned off for charity on February 6th. The pizza boxes will remain on display at the CPK Pentagon City location for the remainder of the month. Celebrities joining Jones in support of the activity were Olivia Fox (102.3 - MAJIC); Renee Nash and Odessa Hopkins (96.3 WHUR); and Cayman Kelly (SIRIUS XM Radio).
