We Live Here: Homeless Youth Art Exhibit

A partnership of local nonprofit organizations are teaming up to present artwork and performances by area homeless youth, turning a needed spotlight on the plight of young people who are currently experiencing a housing crisis, are in danger of becoming homeless, or are living on their own without the supervision of a parent or guardian. All work will be for sale and the proceeds will benefit area homeless youth.

On October 2, an opening reception will take place at 21st Street Coffee & Tea in the Strip District (2200 Smallman Street) from 6 to 8 pm and will include a silent auction as well as performances of original music and poetry readings by the participants. The reception is free and open to the public and refreshments will be served. The work will be exhibited at 21st Street Coffee & Tea through October 31.
