Work by formerly homeless artists on display at University of the Arts
He is one of three artists whose work is now featured at the Gershman Y. They all came through the Broad Street Ministry, a non-denominational, Christian church next door to the University of the Arts. The ministry offers a weekly art therapy program, where the mostly homeless clients participate in art projets, both individual and as a group.
Since January, several UArts students have been volunteering at those sessions.
"We're still students learning from them," said Camille Sassano, a multi-disciplinary junior at UArts. "It's definitely a mutual relationship of conversations and sharing experiences. I feel like that is the more important part of this. The artwork is a catalyst to bring these people together."
