Beginning on September 12th, the gallery Wallspace & A Million Drops present Unsheltered, a show featuring artwork by homeless and at-risk youth and young adults of Hollywood.
The gallery has collaborated with the non-profit organization, A Million Drops, in order to congregate an eclectic group of young individuals who all share one experience: homelessness. Spending their days on the streets of Hollywood and their nights on sidewalks, friends’ couches, or in one of the few local shelters specializing in homeless youth, they beat the odds of drowning in darkness by putting their minds and hearts into creating art.
For more information on the gallery and non-profit:
