“The primary purpose of the program is to improve the lives of the participants through activities that help them develop a more positive image of themselves,” says Thomas-Mathieu Fréchette, program co-ordinator.
The art show featured paintings by Claire Gravel, Cynthia Coulombe Bégin and Jean-Philippe Dagenais. These paintings were auctioned off, raising $2,500, which will support the program and allow the shelters to purchase art supplies.
