Mark your calendars for June 8th, 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. as this highly anticipated event promises an inspiring mix of art, entertainment, and philanthropy to support ArtReach’s mission of making visual arts education accessible to all. Party With a Purpose ArtReach has designed an afternoon that, though a fundraiser, will feel like a celebration of inspiration and creativity with friends. Attendees will enjoy a stunning Del Mar home, dine on a selection of three different paellas, see student artwork, and have the opportunity to create art with the ArtReach Artists that lead in-school programs, mural collaborations, and community art-making. Guests may try the always-popular Ring Toss, where the toss of a ring may become a bottle of fine wine to take home, or bid on stellar experiences and signature items through live and silent auctions. All proceeds translate into free programs that connect youth with artists and art-making. “The past few years put this event on pause, but our community has been asking for its return,” says Sarah Holbach, ArtReach Executive Director. “We couldn’t be more excited to bring "Party ARTy" back! It’s an afternoon where guests can immerse themselves in creativity, make art alongside our team, and most importantly, directly support our mission - providing youth in under-resourced neighborhoods with free opportunities to create, express themselves, and connect with professional Teaching Artists who help bring their stories to life through art.” Since 2007, ArtReach has connected over 86,000 youth to visual arts education. The support of individuals, foundations, businesses, and events like this one help make these life-changing connections possible.
