No Place to Call Home

Greetings All,
Today we got an email from Patricia Gould that Kathleen McCabe and Kathy Lichtendahl wanted this information pass on to member in our Region about an exhibition opportunity.

Theme: Homelessness exists all around the world. There are a myriad of
conditions that result in homelessness: poverty, unemployment, lack of
education, drug addiction, abandonment, mental illness, war and civil unrest,
along with man-made and natural disasters. This exhibit is taking a look at
homelessness in all its implications.
Curator: Kathleen McCabe
