April 18, 2013 (La Mesa) – Biz Center Art, the art gallery in residence at the La Mesa Biz Center, is featuring art based on the idea of "POSSIBILITIES", what is possible in the creative mind of an artist with an opening reception from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 20th. Local artists' work will be shown, as well as our feature artist Peter Hammar, a New York artist from Stockholm Sweden. There  will also be work displayed by the STAR program, survivors of trafficking.

The "Possibilities" opening is  a fundraiser for STAT (Soroptimists Together Against Trafficking) program. Representatives will be on hand to discuss their projects and there will be a raffle of art by Biz Center artists as well as various services by tenants of the La Mesa Biz Center.

Biz Center Art gallery Curator/Director Midge Hyde says, " We're proud to support the STAT project and excited about showcasing art by students, which we've done twice now. I am so impressed with the art and it's great to see students mingling with professional artists."

STAT! is an international organization comprised of many Soroptimists groups worldwide  fighting trafficking by working on legislation and informing the public about the dangers and problems of trafficking everywhere in the world including here in San Diego.
