Above: Two of the dramatic masks that will be on sale at the upcoming "From the Streets to a Home" dinner/auction event at Lexington Catholic High School. A LCHS Art Club student made the mask on the left, while a participant in the "From the Streets.." program created the mask on the right.
From the Lexington Catholic Website:
On Wednesday Nov. 18th at 6:00 PM in the LCHS Cafeteria, LCHS Art Club students and participants of “From the Streets to a Home” will present their handmade ceramic masks and sell them via silent auction. Joe Bologna’s and the LCHS Culinary Club will cater the event with a spaghetti dinner and dessert. Dinner will cost five dollars.
All proceeds will go to “From the Streets to a Home," a program sponsored by the Catholic Action Center that provides apartments for homeless people ready to improve their lives.
The event is the culmination of the LCHS Art Club and Culinary Club’s service project started earlier in October. For five weeks, Art Club students brought food prepared by the LCHS Culinary Club to Cardinal Crossing Apartments on Village Drive where people who were previously homeless meet every Monday. Together, Art Club students and “From the Streets to a Home” participants, shared a meal, discussed their problems, and developed an understanding of their shared humanity by making ceramics masks together.
The masks made during this service project express the passion, creativity, and hope held by all the people who made them. These masks will be on displayed on Nov. 18th at Lexington Catholic High School, and will be available for purchase through silent auction.
For more information, please contact LCHS Art Teacher, Stephen Dorsett.
