MCHENRY, IL— Pioneer Center for Human Services is hosting their inaugural Empty Bowls Art Auction to benefit homelessness on Sunday, October 24, 2021 at 3 p.m.at the Raue Center for the Arts in Crystal Lake, IL. During the event, guests will walk through an exclusive, one-day only gallery comprised of works created by artists depicting homelessness.
This is Pioneer Center’s 3rd Annual Empty Bowls Art Auction, created to increase awareness of homeless services in McHenry County, collaborate professionally with the fine arts community and continue the conversations post-event through visual creations on the issue. The funds raised for the event will be used for services and programs at PADS Homeless Shelter in McHenry, IL.
The art gallery will be designed by partnering with local artists who have created portraits and imagery that examine homelessness. Through the artists creative voices, attendees will be provided with a new light in which to view the need for homeless services in our county. The artwork is intended to continue the conversations of these needs long after the event ends. Attendees will lift each other up through the empathy found in storytelling and relationships through art. Mark your calendar and attend this heart-warming and moving event that brings home the message that everyone experiences struggles and is worthy of help.
