The Art of Our Exchange
The culture of care we create here at Partners In Care is very special and is receiving more and more attention for the value that our time exchange contributes to the general community. A local artist is reaching out to help make this year and this annual campaign extra special.
Michael Hagan is a Washington DC area artist who holds a Certificate in Printmaking from the Corcoran College of Art and Design. His exhibititions include the National Small Works and the Washington Printmakers Gallery. His prints have been used in numerous initiatives for fundraising.
Michael has donated his limited series, entitled "Coffee Shop," to Partners In Care in honor of our 15th anniversary year. This colorful print was inspired by the seaside town of Bethany Beach. Any donor contributing $1500 in celebration of our 15th Year Anniversary will receive an original signed pulled print.
