The cover image of next month’s Focus magazine (story starts page 14) is a piece from a homelessness-awareness show my family’s nonprofit is putting on in January.

All of the works in the show were executed by artists who have survived a period of homelessness within the last five years (or who are currently homeless). We’ll also be screening a locally-produced documentary on the subject and one shot in New York.

The show space is at 705 Johnson, January 15 (reception 5-8pm) through February 28. Films are Jan. 28 at 7pm, and Feb. 25 at 7pm, both free admission.

If you’d like to accumulate experience working in a gallery environment the volunteer sign-up sheet is at the View Art Gallery, but we’re closed until February so just get hold of me somehow (for example, by commenting below).
