Art show to benefit child center
|
Owner and operator Vicki Monroe Spivey will open the doors of the historic building for an art exhibit/fundraiser in April.
?Every penny raised will go to benefit the 31st Judicial District,? said Spivey. ?The center needs all the help it can get.?
The fundraiser comes at an opportune time.
?April is also Child Abuse Awareness Month,? said Spivey. ?That?s why we?re exhibiting children?s art.?
A silent auction will be held during the event with a $25 donation to enter the bidding.
?Not all the children?s art will be auctioned,? said Spivey, ?because not all the children want to part with their artwork.?
Local artists are pitching in to help.
?There will be art donated by local artists that will be auctioned off,? said Spivey. ?The exhibits will be shown before the auction inside the gallery.?
The festivities will also include Bilbrey?s Bluegrass Band, Snowbird, the ?Hotdog Man? Brian Curran, face painting, and free balloons.
?If you?ve never been to one of my parties,? said Spivey, ?you?re missing a lot of fun. I hope everyone comes out and supports this cause.?
The fundraiser is scheduled for Friday, April 7 from 6 to 9 p.m. The Station-Pure Art is located on 200 North Spring Street.
For prior viewing of the art work, The Station ? Pure Art will open March 31 and will resume its regular hours Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. until the day of the event.
