    Shelter: An Artistic Exploration of Homelessness is an exhibit that features over 50 creative interpretations of themes related to homelessness as presented in photography, paintings, mixed media, sculpture and pottery. The Smokebrush Gallery is partnering with five Colorado Springs non-profit organizations that provide assistance to the area's homeless and working poor, including Catholic Charities-Marian House, Ecumenical Social Ministries, Interfaith Hospitality Network, Peak Vista-Homeless Health Center, and Springs Rescue Mission. Through these partnerships, the Smokebrush Gallery and these organizations seek to enhance understanding of the show's theme through interaction with show patrons and additional activities. Donations to these organizations will be accepted at the opening reception and throughout the run of the show. Visitors are encouraged to make monetary donations, as well as donations of canned goods, sleeping bags, tents and warm clothing, all in clean, useable condition. The gallery will host a public forum, consisting of a moderated panel discussion, to delve into issues specific to homelessness and measures being taken to address it in the Colorado Springs community on Thursday, June 19, 6-8 p.m. This exhibition is sponsored in part by a grant from the Colorado Council on the Arts.
    Live music by Teri Garrison will entertain visitors during the opening reception. Teri has sung with and opened for Willie Nelson, Willie Dixon, Robben Ford, Leon Russell, Leo Kottke, and more.
