Art Show Draws Crowd
Dozens of visitors streamed into McAuley House recently to view the 4th Annual "From the Heart" art show.
About 75 neighbors, officials, supporters and guests of McAuley House viewed the artwork of McAuley House guests on Thursday Feb. 11 while enjoying food donated by RISD Caters, Johnson & Wales University and City Line Distributors; flowers from Blooming Mad Florist in Edgewood; music on a Celtic harp played by Mary King; and hospitality services from students of St. Paul's Relgious Education.
"This wonderful evening welcomes friends of McAuley House, and also celebrates the creativity and courage of our guests," said House administrator, the Rev. Mary Margaret Earl.
The art show grew out of an art program founded by local artist Kathy King, who strives to create a safe space for people struggling with homelessness, addictions and other challenges. -
