Home is where we start from,

but home is also where we’re bound for,

the place we always seek

    Heartwood College Presents “In Search of Home”

 

 

Heartwood College of Art is hosting an ASH (Artists in Service to Humanity) exhibit about the meaning of home.  The artists will visually interpret the subject HOME as shelter, refuge, comfort, security, family, friends, traditional rituals, spirit, safety and memories and, the persistent search for this all under one roof.

 

Heartwood College started the ASH project as a way for artists to focus on activities that contribute to the greater good.  The college has always offered a Service to Humanities course as part of their degree programs encouraging students to use their art and communication skills while giving back to the community. The world continues to struggle to provide food, shelter and basic healthcare to over six billion people.  ASH members contribute their share by uniting years of training and experience to raise resources and consciousness.

 

ASH donates 20 percent of funds raised by their exhibits to local causes such as food pantries, homelessness, fuel assistance and literacy. One exhibit a year is also dedicated to address global concerns.  Recently ASH piloted their first global project called 100 Birds for Haiti.  The project raised over $600 to contribute to Konbit Sante, a medical team from Portland, Maine, that provided medical aid to Haiti.

 

ASH’s percentage gift from In Search of Home show will go towards the York County Homeless Shelters.  All pieces will be original works in drawing, ceramics, painting, photography, textiles or assemblage. The exhibition dates are weekdays from Wednesday, November 17 through Thursday, December 23, 2010, 10AM-4PM.  The Opening Celebration is on Friday, November 19, 5-7 PM.
