The Arts Council is proud to welcome the newest exhibit, Art from the Streets on display from Nov. 17 to Jan. 16 in their lobby gallery!
The mission of Art From the Streets is to provide a safe and encouraging environment in which the positive spirit and creativity for those experiencing homelessness are nurtured through their own artistic expression. These artistic endeavors form a pathway to self-determination by means of the sense of achievement, social connections, and income generated through the pursuit of their art.
Visitors can view the incredible work by some amazing artists! Galleries are open Tuesday through Friday: 10am to 5pm and Saturday 1pm to 4pm. For more information visit: acbv.org.
The Arts Council STARS: Helping Hands is also putting on an Art Kit Drive to benefit the artists from Art from the Streets. They are dependent on an Open Studio that closed due to Covid and need supplies to continue their craft. You can assist by donating art supplies items needed for each kit!
