Homeless In Paradise
BC Space Gallery is pleased to present Homeless In Paradise. This tough and timely show offers a penetrating look into life on the streets of sunny Southern California.
This multi-dimensional exhibition features the photographic work of Laguna Beach artists Faye Chapman and Tim Carmody, whose empathetic portraits bring the faces out of the shadows of our own small town streets. This work is juxtaposed with LA Times photographer Genaro Molina's gritty portrayals of chronic homelessness in Los Angeles as shown in his highly acclaimed "Project 50" and "Skid Row" series.
There will be a public reception for Homeless in Paradise on Saturday, November 5, 2011 at 5 PM. The Soup Kitchen will begin serving at 6:36 PM, offering a variety of wholesome home made soups (complements welcomed); and at 7:47 guitarist Jason Feddy and poet John Gardiner will offer original musical and lyrical twists on Dickens.
Homeless In Paradise is presented in support of Laguna Beach's participation in the National Hunger & Homelessness Awareness Week, an annual November event sponsored by the National Coalition for the Homeless. Laguna Beach has been widely recognized for its invaluable support for this vulnerable segment of our population, with the community's shelter, food and counseling programs during very difficult times.
