The date for the 2nd annual Art 4 Shelter benefit has been set for Wednesday, May 9th, 2012 at Chambers Hotel in Minneapolis.

What is Art 4 Shelter?
Art 4 Shelter is a benefit for Simpson Housing Services that exhibits and sells original artworks on paper by emerging and established artists. Each piece sells for $30 and the works are only signed on the back, meaning that you may end up with a piece by a famous artist or by an unknown artist. Either way, you’ll nab some awesome art while helping house people experiencing homelessness.
