Bigham Knoll will host furnARTure, a benefit for The Studio at Living Opportunities
The fun and whimsical work of over twenty-five local artists will be featured at “furnARTure,” a benefit for The Studio at Living Opportunities. We’ve invited local artists to “recycle” traditional furniture, using their creative skills to turn dozens of pieces into “master” pieces for this signature event. The resulting blend of art and furniture becomes furnARTure, and will be auctioned to support The Studio at Living Opportunities during a lovely afternoon of wine, hors d’oeuvres and live music, at Bigham Knoll in Jacksonville.
What: furnARTure, the second annual auction to benefit The Studio at Living Opportunities
When: Sunday, October 2nd, 2010, from 2-5 p.m.
Where: The Bigham Knoll Ballroom, 525 Bigham Knoll, Jacksonville
Who: The event will feature furniture artwork by over 25 of the region’s top artists including: Anne Brooke, Holly Herrick, Pegi Smith, Cathy Doris, Susan Kramer-Pope, Kevin Christman and Gabriel Mark Lipper.
Why: The Studio at Living Opportunities, provides workshops, instruction and events to promote independence, individuality, creativity and an income for artists with a wide range of disabilities. The Studio strives to share our artists’ unique talents, through the belief that art is a common thread that joins us all.
Living Opportunities is a non-profit organization that has been assisting people with developmental disabilities in our community since 1974.
