Guardian ad Litem Foundation of Tampa Bay, in collaboration with Galleries on the Go (GOTG) and Safety Harbor-based CPA Franklin Clark Inc., are putting together a curated art show to support the Guardian ad Litem Foundation of Tampa Bay. The event will be launched on the famous “Third Friday” of September in the city of Safety Harbor and curated by GOTG.
Selected artists will have the opportunity to showcase and sell their art on-site between September 21, 2018 and September 28, 2018 at Franklin Clark, Inc. in Safety Harbor.
Artists wanting to participate are to submit their portfolio with a cover letter/email for review no later than June 15, 2018 at noon. Artists are required to clearly identify art which they will want to showcase and art they will submit for silent auction. To submit an entry, please send to artforgal@gmail.com.
All funds raised by this unique art show will go towards Guardian ad Litem Foundation of Tampa Bay Children’s Needs Program. Executive Director Amy Foster states, “Our Children’s Needs Program allows Guardians ad Litem to submit requests to provide for the real needs of abused and neglected children, whether that is emergency clothing, tutoring or a new bike.”
In the words of one Guardian ad Litem who requested funds through the GALF Children’s Needs Request Program, “I was able to get a home tutor for a first grade child who was failing terribly in school. Within 6 months she turned around completely and was in the top percentile of her class.”
