heART of the Homeless Art Exhibit at the History Center

We just learned of this great event and wanted to pass it along to our volunteers, staff and homeless friends. The Orange County Regional History Center is hosting an art exhibit featuring the work of children staying at the Coalition. The exhibit is called heART of the Homeless and will run from September 15th - October 16th. I strongly encourage you guys to check it out and see the spirits and creativity of the children facing extreme poverty and homelessness in our community.

From the History Center's site:

In conjunction with Looking East, the History Center hosts photographic works by children in the Art by Coalition Children program at the Coalition for the Homeless of Central Florida. The program pairs children living at the Coalition with professional artists in the community to provide an outlet for the children to express and discover themselves in a nurturing environment where they can explore the arts and build self-confidence.

Tickets for the gallery are $9 for adults; $7 for seniors (60+); and students and military with I.D are $6.

For more information, please visit the History Center's website.

If you would like to get involved in working with local children in Orlando that are living in poverty, please join our lil Rock Stars program where we provide tutoring, field trips and creative opportunities for those in need. Shoot me an email to get more involved in our children's future.
