This is definitely a beautiful cause that anyone would be proud to be part of.   You can view some of the art exhibited in the YouTube video posted below.   Some of the art you wouldn’t think of putting in your preschooler’s room because they are a bit edgier than what you are used to watching on Sesame Street.  Nevertheless, there were some great pieces that were some cool and fun.  You can see some humorous and thoughtful renditions of some the characters like Elmo, Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Grover, The Count, and Snuffy.

Just as in the United States, Sesame Street is popular in Australia and around the world.  Sesame Street has been airing down under since 1971.   The program continues to air in Australia and over 150 other countries.    Live performances of Sesame Street are also done in the United States and other international countries.    The USO has also teamed up to present Sesame Street live performances to United States military children at bases in the United States and abroad.  Sesame Street far reach has touched the lives of several generations of children in person and through television
