Bay Institute Artwork on Display at Macy's in Union Square

Head to Macy's this weekend to see artwork created in TBI's STRAW Project classrooms. The art will be on display at the San Francisco Macy's on Union Square, in celebration of Earth Day. The installation will be on the 5th floor, children's level, from April 25 to May 3.

The art is on display as part of Macy's "One Good Turn" national charity shopping day to benefit the National Parks Foundation and local nonprofits like The Bay Institute.

What's more, TBI is the sole local nonprofit to benefit from sales from 10 Bay Area stores. Forty percent of the in-sale savings pass proceeds will support TBI's vital programs.
