ST. PETERSBURG, FL, January 09, 2011 (Press-News.org) Park West Gallery, located in Southfield, MI, made a significant donation of 20 works of art to Youth Arts Corps, a non-profit organization in St. Petersburg, FL whose mission is to help students reach their full potential through the fine arts.

"Over the past 42 years, Park West Gallery has always been very active in philanthropy," said Albert Scaglione, founder and CEO of Park West Gallery. "While our physical locations are in Michigan, we serve clients all across the country. We expanded Park West Gallery CARES to give back nationwide, and we are thrilled to be able to assist organizations like the Youth Arts Corps and communities like St. Petersburg."

Mr. Scaglione further stated, "The Youth Arts Corps mission of assisting students is one that my wife Mitsie and I support strongly, and we are honored to be able to help in this way."

"I am looking forward to our kids meeting Marko Mavrovich and learning from this wonderful experience," said Kimberly White, Program Director of Youth Arts Corps. "They are so excited about the presentation and cannot wait to see the artwork! I am so grateful to Park West Gallery and Studio 10 for their incredible support of our program and their sincere dedication to its' mission and value."
