Art on Main is honored to host a WE ARE ALL HOMELESS interactive art installation March 26th to April 8th.
The installation will benefit those experiencing homelessness in the DFW area and help raise awareness of the challenges they face.
As part of the interactive nature of the exhibit we are asking guests to write what home means to them on blank cardboard we affix to the gallery walls.
WE ARE ALL HOMELESS is a long term art project founded by artist and SMU Meadows School for the Arts professor, Willie Baronet. The mission of WAAH is to bring empathy and awareness to those experiencing homelessness.
WE ARE ALL HOMELESS began in 1993 exploring questions of compassion, humanity and asking questions about what home really means.
Baronet has purchased more than 2,000 homeless signs over the past 30 years. He uses this collection to create installations to raise awareness about homelessness. The installations provide an experience for people to explore the humanity of the signs, and questions regarding the nature of home, compassion and what it means to truly see each other.
