Youth First art on display at ilume Gallerie

The annual Youth First Art Show kicks off on Aug. 9 at the ilume GALLERIE, 4123 Cedar Springs Road, Suite 107, and runs through Aug. 12. Original art pieces included in the show center on the concept of love.
Meet the artists at a reception Wednesday, Aug. 10. Many of the youth in the art program use art as a form of therapy to cope with issues such as bullying, mental health struggles or a lack of family acceptance. Additionally, the art program has brought families together in support of their LGBT youth as they express their identity in a creative medium.
The Youth First Art Show was made possible through funding provided by the city of Dallas Office of Cultural Affairs. Pieces on display are available for purchase. All proceeds from the art show will benefit Resource Center’s Youth First program.
