Art in Action Event ~ Sneak Peak!

 As some of you know I am one of 10 local DC artists who were selected to become inspired by 10 local non-profits to illustrate the impact of community development in the DC area for CNHED's (Coalition for Non-profit Housing and Economic Development) Art in Action event held on Thursday Devember 1st, at the prestigious Long View Gallery from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.  I wanted to take a moment to promote this show and invite you all to a wonderful event showcasing stunning artwork inspired by inspirational leaders advocating affordable housing in the DC area.

This is a one night event so don't miss your chance to tickle your senses and learn more about the movement to provide housing that is affordable for every person living in the DC area. If you currently live here, you are aware of the struggle many face to maintain this standard in an unforgiving economic climate.

I encourage you to purchase a ticket (http://artinaction2011.eventbrite.com/) to attend this event. Proceeds will be used to support the operations of CNHED. If you have any questions regarding the event or purchasing a ticket please contact CNHED’s Sr. Program Officer Stephen Seed at sseed@cnhed.org or 202.745.0902 ext. 206.

To entice you further, here is a little sneak peak into the pieces I will be exhibiting for auction as inspired by my partner organization, N Street Village. It was a difficult task to compose all the inspiration I gathered from them during my visits.  I hope to see you there to tell you more about why I created these works.

N Street Village is a community of empowerment and recovery for homeless and low-income women in Washington, D.C. With comprehensive services addressing both emergency and long-term needs, we help women achieve personal stability and make gains in their housing, income, employment, mental health, physical health, and addiction recovery.
