Art 4 Shelter

Art 4 Shelter

7th Annual fundraising event to end homelessness and support the Simpson Housing Services

In its 7th year, Art 4 Shelter is celebrating the 35th anniversary of Simpson Housing Services with its largest fundraiser of the year.  Attracting hundreds of philanthropists, art lovers and party goers, this highly anticipated and *free* event welcomes guests to purchase original works of art with 100% of proceeds directly supporting Simpson's programs of shelter, housing and services to those experiencing homelessness.  After 35 years dedicated to helping the homeless, the cost of one night of shelter at Simpson is roughly $35 which makes the $35 price for all 5x7 works of art at Art 4 Shelter all the more compelling.  Free and open to the public, everyone is invited to view the pieces created by emerging and established artists exclusively for this much buzzed about celebration on Wednesday, May 10, 2017, at The Gallery and Mercy, Le Meridien Chambers Hotel, 901 Hennepin Avenue Minneapolis. Art Preview 6-7pm, Art Sale 7-9pm. 


This high energy exhibit starts with a preview hour that evening and then explodes with the ringing of the 7pm bell when all attendees are welcome to take their favorite works of art directly off the gallery walls.  At that point, they find out if they hold a piece by a famous artist or are the first to discover up-and-coming talent {all works of art are signed only on the back}. All 5x7s are $35, 8x10s are $90 and {the new size this year!} 11x14s are $175.  New art will be continually replenished throughout the evening for all partygoers as the festivities continue with wine and food by the new Mercy Restaurant.
