For its part, the county agreed to host the exhibit because Rise's mission is closely aligned with the type of assistance offered by the county's Department of Human Services and Public Health, Hennepin County spokeswoman Diana Houston said.
Artists have had their work exhibited through the Art Speaks program at many venues, including the University of Minnesota, local coffee shops, suburban art shows and libraries.
Admission to the Hennepin Gallery is free and open to the public from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday at the Government Center, A-level, 300 S. 6th St.
