To raise money for suicide prevention and mental health efforts on Thursday, the Kimball Jenkins Estate is displaying the work of a Concord artist who took his own life last year.
The family of Mario Giordano will show some of his art work – including drawings, paintings and sculpture – between 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. at the Kimball Jenkins Carriage House, 266 N. Main St.
“He was fascinated by machinery and welding, which comes through in much of his artwork. Mario worked in a variety of mediums including acrylics, collage, and metal work,” the downtown art school wrote in a press release.
A suggested donation of $10 will go toward the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
A team is also planning to participate in the upcoming NAMIWalks New Hampshire event in Concord on Oct. 2 on Giordano’s behalf. Donors and walkers can support the team at tinyurl.com/NAMIWalksNHTeamMario.
