Van Go set to stage Valentine’s Day art sale
A Lawrence arts jobs program for teens will have a Valentine’s Day art sale next week.
Van Go Mobile Arts Inc. will have a Valentine art sale from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Feb. 9. at the Van Go gallery, 715 N.J.
The gallery will be open from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. through Feb. 16.
Van Go, which has been in operation since 1999, provides after-school job training and support services to about 100 teens a year, using art projects as a vehicle.
That program, called Jobs in the Arts Makes Sense, or JAMS, provides those ages 14 to 21 with a job to make public works of art.
