“The evening is about the local creative community pulling together to help our neighbors going through some tough times,” says Ruthie Koenigsmark, stArt Neo president. “It’s a great date night or a fun girls’ night out and the opportunity to come home with some beautiful one-of-a-kind treasures.”
Artists wishing to donate a piece to the benefit are asked to contact Koenigsmark at 216-521-2894 or rkoenigsmark@yahoo.com. Many items from past events have been inspired by repurposed “found” items or created from recycled materials. Artist’s pieces should be dropped off at Local Girl Gallery no later than April 16 to be part of the auction. Arrangements can also be made to have donations picked up at the artist’s convenience.
Tickets are $15 in advance ($20 day of event, as available) and can be purchased online from North Coast Health Ministry at www.nchealthministry.org/events or by contacting Elizabeth O’Brien at 216-228-7878 ext. 114 or eobrien@nchealthministry.org. This event has sold out in advance the past two years.
