C.A.R.E. Gallery Exhibiting Young Artists’ Work 
	 

COLUMBIA, MO - The City of Columbia’s C.A.R.E. Gallery trainees will
display their work in an end of summer art exhibit at the PS: Gallery
(812 E. Broadway) July 29-August 24.

The exhibit will premier with an opening reception at the Gallery from
4-6 p.m. on July 30. The daily hours of the gallery are:
Tuesday-Saturday from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. and Sunday from 12-5 p.m. 

This exhibit showcases new work completed by the CARE Gallery trainees
over the summer.  As the art related job site for the City’s C.A.R.E.
Program, the gallery hires up to 17 trainees to work 20 hours per week
for eight weeks. The 14-18 year old youth traditionally have the
opportunity to display their work at the end of the program. 

The youth have spent the summer working with visiting artists to create
multimedia collages, handmade paper, acrylic paintings, altered books,
silkscreen prints, painted furniture, and much more.  Proceeds from this
exhibit go to fund future C.A.R.E. Gallery art projects. 

The C.A.R.E. Gallery is a program of the City of Columbia Parks and
Recreation Department with financial assistance from the City’s Office
of Cultural Affairs, the Missouri Arts Council, and the National
Endowment for the Arts.

The C.A.R.E. Program (Career Awareness Related Experience) provides
at-risk youth, ages 14-18, living in Columbia and/or attending Columbia
Public schools with employment and educational opportunities.
