Volunteer artists and art supplies wanted for ABCs program


Art by Coalition Children (aka the ABCs program) has been bringing professional artists into the Coalition for the Homeless of Central Florida every six to eight weeks since 2003.  The program is designed to expose the children residing at the facility to various art forms and inspire their confidence and self-esteem under the trying conditions they find themselves in.  Further info can be found here.  If you'd like to lend your artistic knowledge to this worthwhile cause, please contact Marty Vevera at 407-872-5784 or email:  marty.vevera@cflhomeless.org.  They're also in need of art supplies for their various classes, so please keep them in mind if you're doing any studio cleaning/tidying.  Thanks for all your help.
