Art Heals! Breakfast

Art Heals! Breakfast 2011

Attend our free fundraising breakfast and join 400 individuals and business representatives from your community. At this year’s Art Heals! Breakfast, we will hear from a mentor and youth about the impact Free Arts has had in their lives, and we will have the treat of hearing singer/songwriter Chastity Brown perform a song with children from Northside Child Development Center.

Learn more about the healing effects of the creative arts for the children that we serve. We hope to inspire you to support our efforts in transforming young lives through artistic expression. While this is a fundraiser, there is no minimum gift expected.

To attend register here. Deadline to register is October 31st.
