Second Annual Art for A Purpose!
Tuesday, May 26th, 2009It’s that time of year again to enjoy cocktails, appetizers, and the creative art of talented people from around the world. This year’s event, like last year’s, will raise money for GlobalPotential and their biggest program: Coupling underserved youths in the New York City area with a similar demographic group in a small village in the Dominican Republic. The program aims to provide these youths with the skills they need to improve both the community in the Dominican Republic and their own communities.
Because of its tremendous success, the program is sending 4 times more students this year to the same village in the DR, which provides 4 times the opportunities to otherwise underprivileged students. Please come to support a great cause! This year there will be an auction as well as music from various DJs.
Where: This year’s event will be hosted by the Artbreak Gallery in Williamsburg, 195 Grand St. on the 2nd floor. Between Bedford and Driggs Ave.
When: Friday, May 29th from 7-11 p.m.
Cost: Your hourly wage or $10 donation
