Students who don’t have stable housing face special challenges when it comes to school success. It is hard to learn if you are worried about your next meal, about staying warm at night, or about where you’ll be sleeping next. Students who frequently change schools or are frequently absent lose out on valuable learning time and often fall behind their peers.
When an exhibition piece sells during the show, the artist will be paid all of their portion of the sale, and the gallery will donate 100% of the gallery portion of the sale of the piece to the Students In Transition program. There will also be a donation box available all month while the show lasts if you want to help the cause. There will also be a donation box available if you want to help the cause.
Art submission applications for this show will be accepted Saturday November 11th through Saturday December 16th and one more day on Saturday December 30th, 12:00--5:00 pm.
