Arts & entertainment will feature struggling artists and the artist within each of us. This includes art of every shape, sound and feel. We love our artists/craftmen and there are many among us. We tend to the creative in order to seek a more bearable quality of life. Expressing ourselves creatively can be transformative, even if it doesn’t pay.

Art can heal. Colour, rythym, stories and poems can make us whole in a way money cannot. Money becomes secondary when you are expressing your art. Free art opportunities and intitiatives will be showcased here as well as individual artists work. Express the artist within.

Photos, clay, paintings, pencils, song, verse, rythym, instrument, design, craft, and all forms of written word will be showcased here.

To add your art to this new portfolio of the ‘poor’, please see Contact Us.

Feast the eyes, soothe the soul… enjoy

The Light House

lies that had to be kept inside no matter the cost …my innocence digested with the hate and pain that was inflicted upon me

all that there was around me drugs death and life waiting outside that circle
and the feeling of hopelessness that I had felt ….suffocating my sanity
