Find niche, take action
"Poverty.
Homelessness. Hunger. It's all right here, within sight of Charlotte's symbols
of power and wealth." So begins a short video featuring Friendship Trays

The Wallace Ervin Gallery
Charlotte artist Wallace Ervin, featured in Friendship Trays' recent
holiday appeal, has agreed to display his work in the Friendship
Trays lobby. Friendship Trays may display the work of other
Friendship Trays recipients as it becomes available.
Ervin, a Charlotte native, says the three men who inspired the 1997 painting above had gathered at Remount Road and South Tryon Street, just two blocks from Friendship Trays' current location.
The painting, which is for sale, may be viewed at 2401-A Distribution St. Call Lucy Bush at 704-333-9229 for information.
