All monies raised through art sales will go directly to the artist. Local businesses may sponsor the event by contacting LPYS. The exhibit will run from February 18 – March 4, 2021 at www.lpys.org.    Since 1994, La Plata Youth Services has supported and advocated youth facing challenges in school, home or court by providing them with the support and services they need.
