Covenant House Michigan Artists Take Powerful Exhibition to ArtPrize Competition

Each young person who walks through our doors brings a unique story with them. For our youth, opportunities to explore and express those stories are a crucial step in the process of healing. Covenant House Michigan's recent entry to the Grand Rapids ArtPrize competition exemplifies both the diverse experiences of our youth and the power of art in overcoming adversity.

For "A Mile in Our Sneakers," artists from CHMI each transformed a pair of plain white Keds into a colorful representation of their journey.
