Neal Communities Sponsors Exhibit for Family Heritage House, Inc.

Neal Communities (www.nealcommunities.com), southwest Florida’s most experienced homebuilder for over 40 years, is sponsoring Family Heritage House, Inc.’s “Kin Killin’ Kin” visual arts traveling exhibit of high-quality photographs of the original art work, which will be on display from January 29, 2015 – March 18, 2015 at the Family Heritage House Museum, located on the Bradenton campus of State College of Florida, Manatee – Sarasota.

“Kin Killin’ Kin” is a powerful and thought-provoking series of images that reflect artist James Pate’s great concern for the epidemic of youth violence in the African American community. Pate is a master visual artist who has directed his artistic vision to one of the most critical social problems of our time – youth violence.

“We are pleased to be partnering with Family Heritage House, Inc. on this important initiative,” said Pat Neal, president and CEO of the Lakewood Ranch-based home building company. “The team at Neal Communities hopes the $2,500 sponsorship helps to increase awareness of gun violence and its impact and engages the community in conversations around this issue.”

Supporting events included a community conversation and panel discussions with the artist James Pate and youth summit featuring a panel of youth on the topic of youth violence in the community. All components of the program will be free and open to the public. For more information, visit www.familyheritagehouse.com or call 941.752.5319.
