SOHO (A Space of Her Own) gives girls like Jazmine the opportunity to craft works of art that beautify and personalize their living spaces in Gilpin Court. A partnership of ART 180, Friends Association for Children and the Visual Arts Center of Richmond, SOHO also pairs each girl with a female mentor like Huong who offers guidance over the course of 20 weekly sessions that include family-style meals, life skills building and a variety of art projects. At The Big Show, SOHO will display a model bedroom featuring the creations of each girl in the SOHO program.
