Growing Artists

There’s hardly anything more important than encouraging kids to follow their passions. This event hosted by Growing Neighbors is an opportunity for students (and people of all ages!) to share their creativity through art. Artists can submit art pieces created using repurposed or found objects to be auctioned off. Funds will be shared between Growing Neighbors and the local educational nonprofit Spark Central. Along with an art auction, the event includes an option to purchase dinner from Island Style Food Truck, live music by Jonathan Nicholson, a communal art piece, live painting and several variety show performances. The theme for this year’s fundraiser is “Celebrating Diversity” and Growing Neighbors invites artists and performers to base their work and performance around the theme. RSVP at the Growing Neighbors website.
