"Putting It All Together"

 

... an evening of music, food and art,

featuring an auction of luxury lifestyle items

including original art from area artists

 

Thursday, April 16, 2009 ~ 6:30 pm

 

Garden Room, Eden Prairie City Building

8080 Mitchell Road, Eden Prairie

 

$49 per person

 

On April 16, 2009, the Friends of the Eden Prairie Art Center will host a special fundraising event to aid in equipping the Art Center with art equipment such as kilns, glass, and art supplies.

 

Titled, “Putting It All Together,” an evening of music, food and art, will feature an auction of luxury lifestyle items, including original art from area artists.

 

Guests will also be treated to a special performance by world renowned singer Connie Kunkle. Kunkle is perhaps best remembered by Minnesota audiences as the Narrator in the mega-hit Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat where she starred opposite Donny Osmond.

 

The reigning Mrs. Minnesota America, Wendi Russo, will also be present to greet guests.

 

Guests will also have the opportunity to purchase individual glass tiles for a large glass mosaic piece to be displayed in the new art center. The piece will be designed especially for the Art Center by the artist to reflect the spirit of the arts and inspire both artists and patrons of the Art Center.

Appetizers and desserts will be served and a cash bar will be available.

The students at this session took home a unique art piece to be hung anywhere in their home (with permission from their parents, of course). Each student was provided with a rod for hanging their final project on the wall.

 

A huge THANKS to the students who donated their creative masterpieces to the Art Center so that we can sell it in our fundraising silent auction in December!
