Share Love Benefit for Roots + Wings School of Art
An afternoon of sharing and receiving love through hands-on art making for all ages
Sunday, February 12 from 2-5pm
In just a few short years, Roots + Wings School of Art has had an enormous impact in the community through their unique and engaging visual art education programs in Asheville. Their work with children, teens and adults, is helping to unlock the inner, creative voice, grow self-confidence, and provide teaching opportunities and visibility for local and regional artists. The Visual Arts Preschool works with children age three to six, weaving creative problem solving and visual art methods into a preschool curriculum. The Visual Arts After-school program offers a safe, yet creative, after-school option for Elementary school children. The Monthly Art Sessions and Off-site After-school Art Sessions provide an extra-curricular visual art option. They have also established the Asheville Community Design Lab, an affiliate program for teens, which provides a bridge between visual art, design and architecture.
The Share Love event will be held on Sunday, February 12th from 2-5pm at Pink Dog Creative. All proceeds from the Share Love event will help support the Roots + Wings School of Art general scholarship fund, the visiting artist fund, and the Asheville Community Design Lab program. The Share Love event is just one example of Roots + Wings School of Art’s ongoing commitment to making the arts more visible and accessible to the greater Asheville community.
There will be a live dance performance, and a silent art auction of works from a number of talented local artists. Additionally, all studio artists of Pink Dog Creative will have their doors open! A number of hands-on art making opportunities for all ages will be scattered throughout the Pink Dog Buildings during the event:
- Unique card-making and letter writing for upcoming Valentine’s Day – stamps provided
- Scrap t-shirt art site – artists using sewing machines to help piece the works together
- Collage and mixed media site
- Watercolor and oil pastel site
- Live, Interactive Painting site – anyone will be able to make their mark on a series of five canvases – all of which will be auctioned off at the end of the event.
- Dance Performance!
