RENO, Nev. – Planned Parenthood will host an Art Exhibit on May 12, from 6-8:30 p.m., at the Sierra Arts Foundation. A dozen prominent local artists will display nearly 30 items in a variety of mediums. Half of proceeds will provide Planned Parenthood patients quality care at a price they can afford.
“Art is a form of expression which allows women to feel free and powerful. This attitude is what Planned Parenthood strives to achieve by supporting women through all their reproductive health needs,” said Alison Gaulden, vice president of public affairs. “Planed Parenthood provides health care for women who are under or uninsured. Many of our artists are giving so other women can have annual exams.”
