Thursday will see the creative painting of a Frisco youngster auctioned to help support the work of Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children.


Frisco resident and Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children patient Caleb Crossman, 6, unleashed his creative talents at the Christopher Martin Painting Day event. Caleb teamed up with local artist Christopher Martin at his studio for an afternoon of artistic fun.

The masterpiece is among many items and trips to be auctioned off 6:30 p.m. Thursday at the 14th annual Treasure Street, the signature event of Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children, at Highland Park Village in Dallas.

Each year before Treasure Street, renowned artist Christopher Martin opens his studio to TSRHC patients to create a unique work of art. TSRHC patients took turns creating their own colorful designs on the blank canvas, which Christopher Martin transformed into a beautiful work of art titled "Oui Oui Paris!"

Paintings created at Christopher Martin Painting Days and auctioned at Treasure Street have raised a total of $80,000 for the hospital. For more information about Treasure Street, please visit www.treasurestreet.com.

Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children is one of the nation's leading pediatric centers for the treatment of orthopedic conditions, certain related neurological disorders and learning disorders, such as dyslexia. There is no charge to patient families for treatment at the hospital, and admission is open to Texas children from birth to 18 years of age.

For more information, to volunteer or to make a donation, please call (214) 559-5000 or (800) 421-1121 or visit www.tsrhc.org.
