From November through January each year, we are embraced by endings and beginnings, some cheerful or hopeful, others less so. We wrap up the old and ring in the new, in our art as well as in life. Endings and Beginnings, presented by the Southern California Women’s Caucus for Art, is a virtual exhibition that explores the concept of closings, openings, and change.

SALES: Art works will be on sale for $100 each. Artist will receive 100% of the proceeds with the option of donating to this year's charity, Good Shepherd or SCWCA scholarship fund. Artists will oversee delivering their works to buyers.
DATES AND SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Jpegs, along with an entry fee of $10.00 must be submitted to Entrythingy no later than November 8, 2021.

Good Shepherd Center for Homeless Women and Children
As SCWCA gears up for its holiday show, “Endings and Beginnings,” we continue our tradition of partnering with local organizations at this time of year to brighten the lives of Los Angeles women in need.
This year we join hands with the Good Shepherd Center for Homeless Women and Children, whose mission is to empower families “to move from homelessness to self-sufficiency through housing, employment and support services offered with dignity and love.” The Center provides up to two years of housing and supportive services, touching the lives of more than 1500 women and children each year.
As artists, we understand the connection between art and the struggle these families experience. We have been told that the following supplies would be greatly appreciated:
- canvas or canvas boards
- acrylic paint
- paint brushes
- crafting kits
- color pencils
- therapeutic coloring books
In addition, the Center is in desperate need of an ice machine. They are looking at a model costing roughly $580 and would be thrilled to receive financial contributions toward this purchase.
In-kind donations can be delivered or shipped to Good Shepherd Center, 1650 Rockwood Street, Los Angeles CA 90026. Deliveries should be made Monday-Friday, between 9 AM and 5 PM. For your convenience, donations can also be dropped off at the West Los Angeles address of Cathy Engel-Marder by December 20 (culturelink1@yahoo.com for directions).
Financial donations can be mailed to the Rockwood Street address or made online at gschomeless.org.
As we explore the concept of endings and beginnings though our creative work, let’s also support the Good Shepherd Center in its mission to end homelessness and help families begin a life of hope.

Now more than ever we need to support each other. We have to go back to more online interactions because of the resurgence of the virus. If you need connections to resources, an intimate artist group or just information please reach out to us.
