Several times a week at Foshay students sell snacks, slushies and pizza after school as students rush from their classes and grab a bite to eat before they get home.
While other students are free for the day, Room 13's artists stay behind to clean up their sales booth and count the day's earnings. Making anywhere from $75-$150 in profit from sales, participants use the sales as a main resource for funding for their class.
Each Sunday, the Hollywood Farmer's Market is a sea of tents, offering the public some of the freshest fruits, produce, ethnic dishes and refreshing drinks.
However Room 13's tent serves up something different: fresh talent. T-shirts, tote bags, post cards and original artwork are sold to fund the art program-- raising money for art supplies and other classroom needs.
In April, the class made it's third appearance at the outdoor market where they encouraged people to join them in face painting and creating art out of recycled goods. Students, parents and art enthusists came together to support the mission of Room 13.
