    This exhibition is a benefit for Welcome House with 50% of sales going to the organization. Their mission is to provide a high-quality, moral, and open residential program to recovering alcoholics and drug-addicted men facing the difficult transition from treatment, incarceration, and homelessness, to reintegration to society as productive citizens.

    The primary requirement for admission to Welcome House is a sincere desire to be sober and change one’s life. At Welcome House, residents have access to a safe and structured community environment, on and off-site recovery meetings, recovery coaching and mentoring, peer support, educational workshops, and a Rehabilitative Jobs program.
