CJ reporter Melissa Poore writes article about Kentucky Country Day teachers' art to help the Mission

Wayside has operated the Wayside Expressions Art Gallery at its current location, 800 East Market for the past four years under the direction of a wonderful volunteer, Elmer Lucille Allen. The CJ reported recently that David Miller, a teacher at Kentucky Country Day School, along with four other teachers will sell their art for the Mission, raising money for the Penny a Night program, allowing women and families to legally rent hotel rooms while the city determines where shelters can locate.

Mellissa Poore reports "The exhibit is titled “4 for 365: Art Working People” and has a goal of raising a minimum of $365 — reflecting what it would cost 100 families to be housed for a full year using Wayside's penny-a-day rate.

The exhibit will be at the Wayside Expressions Gallery during the First Friday trolley hop. It will run through February and is expected to be the last exhibit at the current gallery, as Wayside will move to Hotel Louisville on East Broadway in March."

We are very blessed to have these teachers in the art community make this committment to help those in need in our community.
