Off the Wall Art Benefit

Ashley organized a first time event to benefit the WE CAN program here at the site that was held this past Saturday at Full Circle Yoga in Vienna. This was an event where 12 local artists display their art work at the Yoga Studio, and supporters and art patrons came to enjoy the art, some refreshments, and some classy surroundings and company! The patrons could buy art work, and the artists tended to contribute some part of their proceeds back to the benefit. There was a cover charge/ ticket for attending. There were door prizes given through the evening. The artists seemed especially pleased with the opportunity to display their art, and "network" with other artists. Many of the artists will now donate a piece of their work to our site's November HeART for the Holidays benefit at the Art Center. Ashley did a great job of organizing the event, and Lori Tafaute, of the Full Circle Yoga studio, who "dreamed up" the idea, are to be congratulated for this very nice "first time" event. Ashley can provide the names of the artists who participated, and any additional follow up information anyone is interested in.
