Look Me in the Eyes
May 3 @ 5:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Join us for Look Me in the Eyes, a First Friday art exhibition from Housing Matters on May 3rd at the MAH, Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History from 5-9PM. Artist-In-Residence, Abi Mustapha, curates a collaboration between people with lived experience of homelessness and local artists.
This exhibition challenges preconceived notions of unhoused identity, symbolically breaking down barriers of thought that separate us from each other.
The artists and the storytellers will be in attendance at the show to discuss their work and augment the story behind each portrait. The artwork will be available for purchase and the proceeds will benefit the artist and Housing Matters.
