A gracious reception with music provided by the Mt Lebanon High School String Quartet and other young performers accompanies this art exhibit & silent auction that will feature over 200 paintings, drawings, graphic art, photographic art and more created by 40 young adults, who have been affected by homelessness. The funds from your purchases will go directly to the artists. There is also a "take it now" price. So, you can come for a while and encourage the young artists by bidding on their work or purchase your selections and head on to your evening plans. Point Park University has graciously donated their beautiful ballroom. Under the direction of Chatham University BSW senior, Grace Enick,We Live Here Too has been supported by a partnership of area nonprofit organizations that have teamed up, for the 2nd year, to encourage these young people who lack stable housing and stuggle for survival. Participating organizations include the Homeless Children’s Education Fund, Art Expression Inc., Hear Me at CMU, and the ToonSeum. Over the past six months these artists have been meeting in community centers, resource drop-in facilities, and on the street to create original artwork for the art exhibit and silent auction. We Live Here Too represents the resiliency, strength, and struggles of Pittsburgh’s youth. “If it wasn’t for art, I would not be here,” reflects Gail (pseudonym). “Art taught me to have a positive perspective in negative situations,” commented another young artist.
