The Saturday Club to Participate in ‘Work of heART’ Exhibition Benefitting Laurel House

The Saturday Club is proud to be among several local organizations participating in an exciting community event that will take place this May at the King of Prussia Mall. Laurel House, a local community domestic abuse agency, will be the recipient organization of a national exhibition project called “Work of heART.” Participating organizations, including The Saturday Club, will collect donations for Laurel House and then use those products to build a work of art, in sculpture form.

The Saturday Club will collect thousands of donated items throughout March and April and utilize those donations to construct a unique, one-of-a-kind structure that aligns to the exhibition’s theme “Healthy Relationships and Strong Communities”. The exhibition is modeled after similarly run CANstruction projects that have been showcased around the world, (see photos for examples). Donations and help from supporters, including members, the community and local and national businesses will ensure the success of this important project and will directly benefit Laurel House.

The exhibition will be on display from May 17^th until June 2^nd, located in the indoor courtyard directly outside of Bloomingdales. During this time, pedestrian shoppers will have a chance to vote on their favorite “Work of heART” and winners will be announced in a closing ceremony on the final day of the exhibition. Shoppers will also have a chance to learn more about the services offered at Laurel House, The Saturday Club, and participating groups as well as see a list of the companies who contributed to the event.

We are currently accepting specific items from the list below (which will be updated regularly), general gift cards to purchase items can be mailed directly to The Saturday Club, attention: Angela Sipe 117 W, Wayne Avenue, Wayne, PA 19087. Monetary contributions are accepted via Venmo to @saturdayclub. If sending via Venmo, please note LAUREL HOUSE in the notes section.
