Local artist volunteers with 6th Street teens

Collage artist Chad Porter has been volunteering with teens at the Leadership Center to create a series of 4 murals to be shown at our upcoming art show in July. Check back soon for more information about the art show.

Chad, who recently moved to New York from Hawaii, creates large format collages for surfboards. On May 6th, he will be opening his latest collection at the 45th Anniversary Endless Summer Surfboard Show. In addition to showcasing his work, there will be a screening of “The Endless Summer” and a silent auction to benefit local nonprofits, including Odyssey House. The auction and the show are open through June 3rd at Gallery Bar in the Lower East Side.
