About the exhibition:

Alessandra Stradella is in a moment of transition. Of Transitions, in fact. And, by reflecting on what she’s accomplished so far, all the people she’s met, all the beauty she’s known, the places she’s holding on to and letting go of, Stradella wants to give back. Specifically, Stradella wants to give back so that others can also transition.

Forty percent of the show’s sales will go to Bethesda Project:

“Bethesda Project operates a continuum of care throughout Center City Philadelphia utilizing a Housing First approach that minimizes barriers to access and allows each individual to take their own journey of healing at one’s own pace. We also provide guests and residents with individualized case management which helps guests and residents become more stably housed and increase their overall independence”
