****2020 Unguarded Incarcerated Artists' Art Auction****
This is one event that will be the highlight of my 2020.You have “PEOPLE” helping “PEOPLE”. - Karen Dhaliwal, Auction Co-chair
Incarcerated artists from WA State Department of Corrections' correctional facilities all over the state are donating art to be auctioned with the goal of raising money for social justice causes through the Unguarded Art Auction at LeMay America’s Car Museum, February 15, 2020. This year's recipient of all proceeds is YWCA Domestic Violence shelter programs in Pierce, King and Snohomish counties. The artists are excited to give back to the community, supporting others while they often need support themselves. The artists believe in the social justice causes that they are raising money for and have chosen to donate to the YWCA with the theme, "A Safe Place to Call Home" as homelessness in our communities has been a growing concern addressed by service providers and community leaders. Please help us support this cause by attending the event, sharing with your networks, or becoming a sponsor. We are also accepting sponsorships for those who want to apply for a scholarship to attend the event. It is important to us to be inclusive to all who want to be a part of this awe-inspiring and unforgettable event.
