What's been happening at p:ear?

From program director Joy Cartier: p:ear is a little bit of a one-room schoolhouse.  Everything happens in the same place, at the same time!  Safe Space is the program that creates the basis of relationships that are so essential to p:ear's vision. Our “classic”programs are where the mentoring happens and right now we have an art workshop with Chris Haberman and friends (check out the April show in our gallery!), a theater workshop with Grace of Defunkt Theater; recreation with Celina through yoga, and safe sex with National College of Natural Medicine.

On Saturday, May 4th, over 400 people will gather at the beautiful Historic Yale Union Laundry Building to celebrate p:ear’s 11th anniversary fundraiser auction. From 100+ silent auction packages (representing over 300 local businesses) to 15 Live Auction Packages sold by the award-winning auctioneer, Johnna Wells, to a gourmet dinner, local wines, and performances by The Circus Project. This fundraiser serves as p:ear’s primary source of annual operating revenue and is a heck of a lot of fun!
