A Windermere Art and Charity art exhibition will benefit Gay and Lesbian Adolescent Social Services (GLASS).

Windermere Properties/Shafer Broadman and Associates presents the exhibition at the group's new office on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles, March 15 through June 15.

On display will be work from James Shilaimon, plus four Bird Fine Art artists: Ben Murphy, Richard Bay, Colleen Quinn, and Kip Frace.

The Windermere Art and Charity quarterly program combines the agency's commitment to support emerging artists with its broader philanthropic mission. A percentage of each art sale benefits different charities. The group selected GLASS to be the beneficiary of this show.

Windermere Properties/Shafer Broadman and Associates opened the Sunset Strip branch in September 2005; this will be the second exhibition at the new facility.

Stuart Bird, owner of Bird Fine Art, has been in the art business since 1978. Bird has worked in galleries from coast to coast as a consultant and gallery director. He's been an independent dealer/consultant since 1987.
