Dayton artist Mb Hopkins created this painting entitled “Huddled Masses,” and was giving prints to people in exchange for their contribution to the local Unitarian Fellowship for World Peace. This organization provides no-fee mental health services in several languages to refugees and immigrants.
“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
— Emma Lazarus

The original painting, which is 2-ft by 4-ft, will be sold to the highest bidder at the DVAC Annual Auction on April 28, 2017, with all proceeds from that sale going directly to DVAC, to help offset their operating expenses. If you would like to own your own print, you can find them at Eclectic Essentials and CLASH in the Oregon District and at Sam And Eddies Open Books in Yellow Springs!
