Hi Everyone,

We are a group of 8 young talented and different artists from various parts of the country. Our goal is to create an unforgettable experience showcasing a combination of photography, paintings, music, film, and an installation piece.

We are creating a show that will be a beneficial development in culture, entertainment, and art. That’s why we are asking for this donation, which of course will be greatly appreciated. Every penny given will go towards our venue space, catering for the show, Materials for artists, transportation for the artists’ works, and marketing tools.

We have also teamed up with the Coalition For The Homeless and will be donating 20% of our proceeds to their cause. With members of the show council having dealt with homelessness directly, we really love and appreciate all that the Coalition does for those in need.

Our goal is high, but certainly achievable. We’re hard working artists, who want to really showcase some amazing work. Any and EVERY dollar donated will be used for good.

Thank you so much for your help.

Radazz Hearns, 14, remains in stable condition at Capital Health Regional Medical Center in Trenton after being shot five times in the right leg and once in the left leg. He also has a bullet lodged in his pelvis, said the teen’s lawyer Samuel A. Anyan, Jr. Hearns has still not been charged with a crime.

State troopers and officers with the Mercer County sheriff’s office were investigating reports of gunfire in the area, when they encountered three males walking down the street.

The officers got out of their vehicles to question the trio, and the 14-year-old ran. Authorities said the trooper shot the teen after a brief foot chase, but further details were not disclosed. Witnesses claim they never saw a gun and the teen was shot after “reaching for his waistband.” Authorities claimed to have recovered a weapon 12 hours after the shooting occurred.
