I will be at p:ear this next week to bring the Recovery Panes Healing Arts Project to them directly. p:ear builds positive relationships with homeless and transitional youth, ages 15 to 24, through education, art and recreation to affirm personal worth and create more meaningful and healthier lives. Each year p:ear programs serve more than 350 homeless and transitional young people.
If you are interested in sponsoring a p:ear youth to participate in the Recovery Panes Workshop, please donate ($50 per youth) by either sending it directly to Kelly Williams (Director of Recovery Panes) 801-A SW Green Ave, Portland, OR 97205 or hit the donate button on the blog and use paypal.
It is through the continued business support and community donations that are allowing this project to be brought to these wonderful organizations. I will be offering them the opportunity to make an additional art pieces to sell at the p:ear gallery in order to raise funds for basic living expenses for the participating kids. By selling their own artwork, they can feel empowered and move towards self-sufficiency and build self-esteem.
