This timely exhibition features the works of more than 30 artists working over the last 75 years to document the tragedy of homelessness and the government’s role in the crisis. Through painting, printmaking, photography, and mixed media, Depression-era and contemporary artists offer glimpses of life on the street and show many similarities between the eras. The exhibition will open February 19, 2009 and run through August 15, 2009. CHS is open Wednesday through Saturday, 12:00 noon to 4:30pm; admission is free during this special exhibition.
