Beginning Monday, Dec. 3, through Dec. 8, “Through Their Eyes” art exhibit will be on display at Woltz & Wind Ford, located at 2100 Washington Pike. The exhibit showcases artwork portraying the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, as seen through the eyes of children. The traveling exhibit helps raise awareness for the Autism Society of Pittsburgh and the Allegheny Valley School, the two charities supported by the Grand Prix.

More than 100 children participated in the Children’s Activity Tent at last July’s 25th annual Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix at Schenley Park. They were encouraged to create a piece of art inspired by their favorite part of the Grand Prix. Thirteen pieces of artwork were selected for the “Through Their Eyes” traveling art exhibit, but all of the artwork can be viewed online at www.NeighborhoodFordStore.com by clicking on the link to “Through Their Eyes.” Online visitors can vote for their favorite piece of artwork, and the Neighborhood Ford Store will make a donation to the Grand Prix charities in the name of the child who receives the most votes through Dec. 15. Call 412-279-4551 for more info.
