I signed up this week for a special art project and I need local artists help!!!
I will be going twice a week to the Salvation Army in Chilliwack to host an open art studio time for their shelter residents to create art for an upcoming show. What show!?! Let me tell you!!
is partnering with .ca to create an art exhibit at on August 18th. The show is entitled " Unhoused, Unhidden ; a celebration of art and humanity "
It will display art created by their shelter residents who are actively experiencing homelessness.
The cultural center plans to make a permanent exhibit of this show.
How can you help!?!?!
Im hoping our amazing vibrant artist community will dig into their closets, cupboards and bins to find those gently used art supplies they no longer use or need!! Us artists love to hoard supplies, and I know I definitely have supplies to donate to a good cause. Donating supplies directly to artists who have nothing, to learn new skills, cope, and create!
Things like : paint brushes, watercolors, acrylics, drawing pencils, markers, charcoals, pastels, paper, or more!
The salvation army in chilliwack has no current art room, and only minimal craft supplies. Any art supplies donated will be of great use.
If you have anything to donate please contact me, CJ, to arrange drop-off or pick-up of your donations!
