A Taste of Art
A Taste of Art was a success this year, exceeding our goals and raising over $4,000 for Between Friends’ programs and services! More than 70 guests enjoyed an evening of great wine and spectacular art, with Between Friends at Webster’s Wine Bar in Lincoln Park. Brilliant photography, eye-catching acrylic painting, and stunning jewelry were just a few of the pieces featured from twelve artists for the guests to admire and purchase, while they enjoyed a vast selection of wines from around the world. We were excited to see the many new faces at the event. A silent auction topped off the evening as guests who bid on artwork, jewelry, and gift certificates collected their winnings with 100 percent of these proceeds going to support Between Friends’ programs and services.
Friends would like to thank the following artists for their participation in the show and their generous donations to the silent auction: Kwasi Amankwah, Elizabeth Chudick, Hank Feeley, Char Marie Flood, Karin Hansen, Carol Meynen, Jennifer Norton, Gerardo Perez, Denise Riesen, Camille Sanders, Zissou Tasseff-Elenkoff, Thomas Wright, and Mei Wu. A special thank you to Kwasi for also designing our invitation to the event. We would also like to thank the event planning committee including: Alison Clarke, Alison Ferrari, April Garrett, and Diana Schonfeld.
