New Venue: Crossroad Christian Church, St. Leonard, Maryland
The fifth annual Recycled Art Show to benefit Patuxent Habitat for Humanity will be held on Friday, May 3 from 6-9pm at Crossroad Christian Church in Saint Leonard, MD. Patuxent Habitat for Humanity is scheduled to build a new affordable home this year for a Calvert County family and renovate a donated house for a second family.
“The Recycled Art Show is a great way for the community to support affordable housing,” according to Don Parsons, president of Patuxent Habitat for Humanity. “Community support is needed to help build our homes. Homes are constructed with volunteer help for deserving families.”
Local artists will use their talents to transform items from the Patuxent Habitat for Humanity ReStore into art. The art show will include a silent auction for the objects created by the artists. Past creative silent action pieces have included furniture, ceramics, art objects, jewelry, and textiles. In addition this year a day sail trip around Solomon’s Island for a group of four which includes lunch will be up for bids. Also a great escape to the picturesque shores of Mazatlan, Mexico at the luxury resort of Pueblo Bonito will be available at auction as well.
Tickets $25/per person for the event may be purchased at the ReStore location in Lexington Park or online at www.patuxenthabitat.org .Since its founding as an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International in 2003, Patuxent Habitat for Humanity has constructed 17 affordable homes.
