Art Karma, an annual fundraiser and “good karma” party to benefit ART 180, will take place on Thurs. Dec. 4, 2008, from 7 p.m.-10 p.m. at Plant Zero Art Center.
The event includes an extensive silent auction and lots of entertaining elements to round out the experience. While the karma theme suggests exotic lands, this event champions homegrown talent and community generosity. The event is named Art Karma because of the cycle of goodness and good will it promotes: artists and small business owners contribute items which are then sold at a fun community event, and the proceeds help ART 180 continue providing after-school programs.
This year, Art Karma is adding a special green twist, targeting art made from recycled and reclaimed materials, as well as eco-friendly products and services. Look for key GO GREEN items in this special auction that has always encouraged buying locally for a good cause. Listen to global music played by WRIR DJ’s, eat exotic appetizers, sample Virginia wines, and don’t forget to try the one and only Karmatini.
Admission is $10.
Art Karma has become a signature Richmond event helping ART 180 to serve young people in challenging circumstances. Proceeds will go to fund ART 180’s after-school programs in creative expression. Based in Richmond, ART 180 creates and provides art-related programs to young people in challenging circumstances, encouraging personal and community change through self-expression. Since 1998, the nonprofit group has worked with youth in the Richmond area to create art that explains and illustrates their feelings, thoughts and experiences.
