Last week, Minnesota Street Project hosted the annual art benefit auction for Hospitality House, a community center serving residents of the Tenderloin, SOMA and Mid-Market of San Francisco with programs to overcome chronic poverty and its effects. Many local artists donated artwork that was auctioned in a live and silent auction to raise money for this organization and programs. It was exciting to see so many different artworks from other local artists and also to be part of this community helping to raise funds for a good cause.
