Art for a Cause Success!

Art for a Cause Success!

Thanks to all of you who came out for the inaugural Art for a Cause event benefiting The Patchwork School in Louisville.  We had a fabulous time on Friday evening at the art opening, graced with the operatic music of Sarah McCurdy, Blue Grass and violin.  Saturday morning started off with a bang as we all gathered outside for The Patchwork School's ribbon cutting.  The children we especially excited about their new school and the amazing backyard/playground that many hands labored to create this summer.

Overall, the event raised $1800+ for the school.  Artists donated 50% of their sales and the raffle money went towards paying for expenses of putting on the event.

As a group, AFAC is thrilled that the idea of supporting non-profits and artists simultaneously was a hit.  We plan to do this again, so stay tuned.  

If you are a non-profit or know of a non-profit that might like to hold an Art for a Cause event please visit the website and submit your request.
