Art by the Homeless is Beautiful

Art by the Homeless is Beautiful

Our last scheduled distribution of winter survival packs is this Saturday, January 31, 2009.  We will meet at the lobby of 655 W. Broadway at 11:30 a.m., then carpool to the Neil Good Day Center at 299 17th Street, to launch our homeless art project and distribute backpacks and warm clothes in the neighborhood.  This is a great opportunity for families and kids to participate in a public service.  
 
Calling for Magazines and Art Supplies
 
GTT’s Noor Kazmi is heading up our homeless art project to foster the visual art, creative writing, stories, and photographs of San Diego’s homeless community.  We hope not only to humanize the plight and experiences of the homeless, but also to showcase talent and create an income stream for the artists by putting on a public art show here in the city.
 
Do you have magazines, books, journals, sketchpads, notebooks, disposable cameras, pencils, pens, or other art supplies lying around?  Donate them to GTT!  We will put them to good use, starting with our project launch on January 31st. 

Or are you an artist, gallery owner, or an art connoisseur who could help get this valuable project off the ground?  Email us to get involved in this fabulous project to Noor’s attention at girlsthinktank@gmail.org.
