Serenity First Friday

By

Join us for First Friday in August! “Serenity” is an art benefit for Welcome House and will feature tons of great artwork! Come and enjoy the party!
Serenity is defined as a state of being calm, peaceful, and untroubled. Many things achieve these feelings; beautiful landscapes, nature, calming colors, yoga, gardens, beaches, bodies of water, and whatever else makes you feel calm.
The “Serenity” art exhibition and benefit opens endless possibilities for artists to share their ideas of calmness through artwork! Subject matter may include anything that provides a sense of peace, calmness, or tranquility. This theme is open to your own interpretation, and we can’t wait to see what artists will submit.
This exhibition is a benefit for Welcome House with 50% of sales going to the organization, and the remaining 50% to artists for their beautiful creations. Their mission is to provide a high-quality, moral, and open residential program to recovering alcoholics and drug-addicted men facing the difficult transition from treatment, incarceration, and homelessness to reintegration to society as productive citizens.
The primary requirement for admission to Welcome House is a sincere desire to be sober and change one’s life. At Welcome House, residents have access to a safe and structured community environment, on and off-site recovery meetings, recovery coaching and mentoring, peer support, educational workshops, and a Rehabilitative Jobs program.
