Lost Souls Cafe, a hidden gem that is not so secret any more on how they provide a space for independent art and thought to flourish, has been hit by some rough times. As with all businesses independent and small, Lost Souls have been hit by the recession.
So when Meli called for help to do a fundraiser for Lost Souls, I completely obliged.
Lost Souls had become a second home for me, allowing me to showcase my work, paint on their walls, learn to curate shows, and host/produce a spoken word open mic night. For all they do for artists like me, I have to give back.
And a funny thing happens when you call the community; the community ANSWERS.
