The Oak Bay teens who created the collaborative charity last year, Holly Smith and Trishna Gill, decided to do something a little bit different from the usual program, Smith said.
Last Christmas, Rise Together hosted a charity benefit show at the Dave Dunnet Community Theatre to support Rainbow Kitchen, which serves 10,000 meals monthly and operates a school meals program.
The exhibit includes a silent auction of work donated by local artists, with Chin Yuen the first announced.
