“By Kids for Kids” is open for art submissions from young people ages birth to 18 until May 19. The auction will be held virtually from May 20-28. Proceeds from the Children's Art Auction will go to benefit Our Children's Place of Coastal Horizons Center, a statewide program committed to the children of incarcerated and returning parents.
