Do something good! Art and kids.

Many of you know that I teach sewing at 3rdward in Brooklyn. 3rdward is getting together with the Art of Elysium, a charity for children.

 Tonight is the night you can learn how to get involved with this incredible organization that brings art and hope to the children who need it most.

THE ART OF ELYSIUM ORIENTATION
TONIGHT, October 14, 2010
195 Morgan Ave, 7 to 9 pm, FREE and open to the public

At this low-key orientation, discover how The Art of Elysium enables hospitalized children to explore a wide range of artistic mediums so they can gain confidence and find an individual creative voice, even in the midst of overwhelmingly difficult circumstances.

Representatives from The Art of Elysium will introduce the work they do across the country, then you can sign up for specific creative events scheduled over the next two months. The projects range from 2-hour craft gatherings to fashion shows to evening music sessions.

We'll provide complimentary whiskey and wine, live bluegrass and an opportunity to be a part of something much larger than yourself.
