Last month (for the seventh year), Jason Messinger joined 50 other artists, architects and designers at Room & Board for the Birdhouse – Branching Out Art Auction and Cocktail Party, which raised much needed funds for Chicago House. Jason Messinger’s “Birds On The Wire” tile mural received one of the highest bids of the evening! Collectively the event raised $37,000!

All Chicago House services are provided without discrimination and are designed to guide people towards wholeness and self-sufficiency.

To continue his long support of the Birdhouse Auction, Jason Messinger has pledged with fundraiser coordinator Jeremy Hilborn to donate artwork to other Chicago House charity fundraisers in the future; look for my artwork there when you support this great charity!
