Our 7th Charity Art Show and Silent Auction was held at the Springhill Suites in Ballantyne and the proceeds went to benefit our organization as we expand and improve our growing art program.

The proceeds from our 6th Show benefited our charitable art program and a portion was donated to The Relatives,
a non-profit organization in Charlotte, NC, that keeps kids safe, families together, and prepares youth and young adults to be healthy, productive, engaged members of the community.

Our 5th Charity Art Show and Silent Auction was held in December 2018. Laura Fox-Wallis, NBCT, Visual Art Instructor, was our keynote speaker who spoke about the importance of art. The proceeds from our event benefited our non-profit art program and a percentage was donated to the Hands N Feet Foundation. The Hands N Feet Foundation provides the means for the less fortunate in Greater Charlotte, NC area to rise out of homelessness.

In the spring of 2018, we grew from the original 5 artists to 30 artists and six hosts including more students from Ardrey Kell High School, Myers Park High School, Nation Ford High School, South Meck High School, Levine Middle College, Appalachian State University, UNC, UNCC, and University of South Carolina.

We celebrated our two year anniversary. The proceeds from our event benefited No Kid Hungry NC, to help end childhood hunger by connecting kids to effective federal nutrition programs.
