Art Exhibition

Through the Homelessness Art Exhibition, YPSI created a platform for student art expression from all over California, including the Bay Area, LA, Irvine, and San Diego, to promote awareness of the homelessness issue. In addition, YPSI was able to raise over six thousand dollars by auctioning out some of the artwork and holding a donation outside of the exhibit.
