Sixty artists will have their photos on display and available for purchase at a one-of-a-kind exhibit on Friday, June 6th and Saturday, June 7th during Catholic Charities annual Visions of My Life exhibit. These artists did not go to photography school. They are the guests at Catholic Charities Tuesday Night Suppers. Many of them are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Their photographs provide an opportunity to see Chicago from a different point of view, their point of view. The exhibit will feature prints and notecards from the artists. Each photo display will include a bio on the artist describing their vision for the photographs. Many of the artists use the profits to help with security deposits for apartments, pay utility bills, buy food or purchase digital camera to encourage their new passion. The exhibit will take place at Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago, 721 N. LaSalle.
