ART BY DE FOR A BRIGHTER FUTURE

Local nonprofit Rainbow Family 808 hosts a silent auction art show from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Aug. 8 at The ARTS at Marks Garage, featuring work by late artist De Chambs.

Rainbow Family supports houseless young adults, with a particular focus on LGBTQ youths.

Any additional money raised will go toward establishing a youth shelter, which Rainbow Family hopes to help create in Honolulu within the next few years.

General admission is free, and VIP tickets cost $25.
