PROGRESSIONS: A Collaboration of ART and HEALTH

Thanks to all who cam out on Saturday night for the opening of our group art show and the debut of the collaborative art effort known as The Seven Project.  Friendships were forged, relationships created, consciousness was raised through the support of the Irma Rangel Young Women's Leadership School and art was enjoyed (and purchased!) by many. Here's a shot of the group who made it all happen:
