"By and About Women: A Project to Benefit Lotus House Womens' Shelter" Exhibition
Laurence Miller Gallery
This event has ended.
"By and About Women" is a special, limited edition, portfolio of art and poetry by women artists from around the world and the creative writing group of the Lotus House Women’s Shelter, situated in the heart of the historic African American district of Overtown, one of the poorest neighborhoods in Miami. Lotus House serves approximately 130 women and infants annually, with a holistic, gender specific and innovative format designed to empower women to improve the quality of their lives on every level, achieve greater self sufficiency and transition to permanent homes off the streets. The "By and About Women" project was created to both raise awareness of the Lotus House as a prototype, women’s resource center and shelter serving the gender-specific needs of homeless women and infants, and build an endowment fund to ensure that the shelter will serve as a resource for generations of women and infants to come.
