Events on this Day

La Plata Youth Services invites you to the 7th Annual, and 1st VIRTUAL, Exhibition for Unchain My heART, a youth multimedia art show at www.lpys.org.   The Unchain my heART exhibit gives young artists who share a joy of creating art the opportunity to display their work in a professional setting, engage with professionals in the art world, and add a gallery exhibition to their resume. 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.
