Description

 

Join us for an art gallery-style event featuring creative designs, artwork, and messages from youth who have experienced foster care!

 

Right now, there are more than 8,000 youth in Massachusetts foster care and hundreds of them have no permanent family. Their voices are often unheard. We want to change that.

 

Fostering Creativity is a public awareness campaign that seeks to empower those who have experienced foster care to share their perspective with the world through the power of art. Through their creative expression, these youth are raising their voices to share their real experiences with foster care, family, and adoption.

 

Working collaboratively with MARE, these youth have designed T-shirts that will help raise awareness about foster care and adoption. Each shirt features art, designs, and a message they want to share with the world.

 

To kick-off National Adoption Month, we are collaborating with More Than Words to host an inspiring event featuring these youth artists. Join us on November 2nd, any time from 5:30pm – 8:30pm, for a showcase event. This open house event will give you a chance to drop by, view the art and designs, hear from the youth themselves, and even meet the artists!

 

All T-shirt designs will be available in the MARE Online Store for purchase. We hope you will join us in supporting the creativity and unique voices of these kids.
