Artists to Hold Auction to Buy Milk for Children

A group of artists and others have joined together to buy milk for the growing number of homeless children on the Westside.

The group, called Art for Milk, will auction off the work of more than 30 local artists at Schwartz Cierlak Gallery in Santa Monica. The proceeds will be used to buy milk for the Bible Tabernacle shelter in Venice.

The largest private shelter on the Westside, the Bible Tabernacle houses up to 160 children a night, some in church-owned apartments, others on cots and mats in the church building.
