Westporter's Photos on Sale to Benefit Homes with Hope

Westport photographer Bernard Perry will display his photos of Iceland entitled “Land of Fire and Ice” at Max’s Art Supplies through the month of July. All photographs are available for purchase and Perry will donate all proceeds to Homes with Hope, a Westport-based nonprofit that supports the homeless.

The donations will benefit the organization’s Gillespie Center and Hoskins’ Place, emergency shelters for men and women.

The exhibit will be on display in the windows of Max’s, located at 68 Post Road East, starting Monday. The photos were taken in the summer of 2012 and include "smoldering volcanoes, slow-flowing glaciers, thundering waterfalls, geysers, majestic mountains and soothing thermal pools," according to a release from Homes with Hope.

“The sights are almost surreal,” Perry said of his trip.

He is excited for the upcoming showcase that will benefit a great local cause, the release states.  

The Gillespie Center and Hoskins’ Place have 19 beds for those in need of emergency shelter services. The facility operates at over 100 percent capacity year-round. The shelters also house the local food pantry and the Community Kitchen, helping to feed more than 50 individuals every day.
