The exhibit is one night only, open to the public, and 30% of all proceeds will benefit the Children's Advocacy Center.

Expect lots of new age art and chatter. Meet the artists and other enthusiasts. Or don't meet anyone and just look at the art. The reception is from 7-10pm. Go. Support local artists. Have fun.
