Lenny Weinstein creates art exhibit on Homeless Living

On Sunday July 30, Occidental Center for the Arts presented a special three hour outdoor exhibit featuring local artist

Lenny is a sign painter by profession but also a very talented artist. As Sandy Thomas wrote “These paintings of the homeless around these parts are gritty, unapologetic depictions of a contemporary social reality”.

Lenny is a self-taught artist and works in every medium: he draws, paints, sculpts, does photography, throws clay and even does fine carpentry. The style of this collection is a cross between realism and impressionism.

This art exhibit was enjoyed by the members and the volunteers of OCA who were honored with a dinner put on by the Board of Directors of OCA. We held a raffle for one of Lenny’s pastel portraits and the proceeds have gone to West County Community Services.
