Spacejunk to hold children's art exhibition to benefit Bear Cottage
Spacejunk, art gallery and clothing store in Manly, will present "My 5 Year Old Could Do That", an exhibition featuring the work of young artists 13 years and under from around Sydney and beyond. The exhibit opens Monday, May 12th and will run to May 25th. Proceeds from this event will benefit Bear Cottage Children's Hospice, Manly.
The talent and skill featured in this exhibit stands on its own merit, but the addition of it benefiting Bear Cottage makes it unique. "When I told them that their artwork would be helping out sick kids, they were all anxious to contribute," says Spacejunk co-owner, Gina O'Neill. Ms. O'Neill owns and runs Spacejunk with her husband Marcie.
"The artwork that children create is honest and innocent," says Marcie O'Neill. "I think we can all learn from their pieces. And their willingness to create to benefit other children is really something special."
