InVisible

InVisible is an exhibit in the foyer at the Museum at Prairiefire by 12 homeless and recently homeless artists. The pieces, which are for sale, are presented to give viewers a new perspective of emotion through art. This piece is by Morgan (pictured below) who through drugs and alcohol became homeless. But four years clean, she is now a student at the Kansas City Art Institute. Fascinating exhibit. Accounting firm, MarksNelson,  conceived of the exhibit after meeting homeless Kansas Citians through its Wrapped in Warmth project last winter.

We Can Do Something

Stacy and I helped Artists Helping the Homeless serve a meal at Mill Creek Park on the Plaza. It may not be much but it's something to help.

Takes All Ages

First-grader Gabe doled out sour cream while we were serving the homeless yesterday. (I was serving the lettuce but stopped at a break to take a photo.) Our parents are conscientious about getting kids involved. You can't see her face, but Erin next to Gabe is in middle school.
