RAINBOW SOUP - THE STORY
The genesis for Rainbow Soup came out of our creative team's own rather insatiable appetite for the creative process. (There is nothing more exhilarating than watching your favorite band hard at work in a live performance, so close you can see the perspiration. Or to see a skilled artist dip her brush into the paint and witness her visual interpretation of the world emerge.) As we began the process of researching television shows for young people, with the creative process as its featured element, we came up short. Kids love the joy of discovery! They are natural creative beings. Yet with economic cutbacks school arts programs are always the first to go. Where, then, can young people get their inspiration?

What you are about to see is meant to suggest the 3rd or 4th episode of our series. Rainbow Soup is part "Zoom," a successful model for our proposal, and part "Bill Nye the Science Guy" - which then meets "60 Minutes." It is a television series that presents for our young people a true global community based on culture and art. It brings the world of creative possibilities into our living rooms. Through it we can spark kids' imagination to dream of ideas, cultures and creative possibilities of which they might never have otherwise been acquainted.

Kids begin at an early age to imagine themselves in the world beyond home. Rainbow Soup gives their imaginings a positive place to explore and to take hold. Positive exposure to culture and art can change a young person's life. Watch closely as Marcia Williams, one of our featured artists in this episode, as she talks about her childhood dreams to be an artist and the excitement she still feels that her dreams became a reality.
