Boys & Girls Club Presenting Second Chances Art Show at Ink People’s Brenda Tuxford Gallery

This is a press release from the Brenda Tuxford Gallery:

May in the Gallery

The Boys & Girls Club Teen Court program presents the Second Chances Art Show on May 5th, 6-9 pm at the Ink People’s Brenda Tuxford Gallery during Arts Alive. The show features artwork by local teen artists exploring issues they are facing today and will be displayed the entire month of May.

At Teen Court, they regularly bear witness to the power of youth being given a second chance to move beyond one bad choice. Teen Court is a juvenile offender diversion program based on restorative justice and peer accountability. Teens, who have admitted guilt, agree to have their case heard by their peers, who focus on coming up with an appropriate sentence that will help the offender to learn from their mistake. Teen Court is excited to extend beyond their courtroom and share such inspiration with the larger community.

“Teen court is all about giving youth a chance to express themselves and have a voice. Second Chances art show allows just that, through art with an important purpose and artists that need to be heard.”  –Fayanne Kirkpatrick, youth artist from 2014
