TSI's 4th Annual Art Show and SaleTransitional Services, Inc. Presents:
"Between You And Me" A Collaboration Of Local Artists
Transitional Services, Inc. is removing the walls from its Annual Art Show and Sale by bringing the festivities outside and into the heart of Homestead. The Carnegie Library of Homestead and adjacent Kennedy Park will play host to TSI’s fourth Annual Art Show and Sale event. The fun begins at 2 p.m. on Saturday, October 16, 2010.
The primary feature of the event will be the artistic works created by artists receiving services at TSI combined with that of other artists from the local community. In addition to the art, Roots Revival Singer/Songwriter, Cathasaigh will be performing, a family art station will be set up to allow kids of all ages to play around with crafts, and light refreshments will be available. The night wraps up with a reception and awards ceremony that will award prizes to the top three pieces of art as voted on by event participants.
One of the primary goals with this exhibit is to connect the TSI sponsored
artists with established artists in the community to enable persons with disabilities to recognize that their art can stand upon its own merit. This opportunity will enable
them to be included in the arts community as artists with a disability, not "disabled" artists. Aligned with our vision of transforming communities through the contributions of the people we serve, TSI seeks to do this in a welcoming atmosphere that encourages the audience to mingle with the artists and with each other in order to develop a more vibrant, artistic presence in the local area.
All of this is made possible through the generous funding support of the Steinsapir Foundation and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts.
