Home show spotlights Homeless Alliance artists

The OKC Home + Outdoor Living Show at State Fair Park continues 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday.

Visitors to the show Friday through Sunday at State Fair Park will be able to purchase artwork created by artists in the Homeless Alliance’s Fresh sTart program and learning more about their story and how the organization is helping to end homelessness in Oklahoma City.

At events like the OKC Home + Outdoor Living Show, artists have an opportunity to sell their work and earn an income.

The Homeless Alliance booth also will include the Curbside Chronicle program, a magazine that provides a voice and employment opportunities to people who are homeless. The magazines, as well as wrapping paper designed by local artists, will be sold for the “Wrap Up Homelessness” campaign.

Visitors to the booth will learn about donation needs, including baskets of household items that the Homeless Alliance provides to people who are moving into housing.

Admission to the OKC Home + Outdoor Living Show is $9 for adults; children under 12 get in free. Buy tickets online at www. homeshowokc.com using the promo code HOME and save $3. In addition, the show will donate $2 to the Homeless Alliance. Online purchasers also have the opportunity to donate directly to the organization.
