Art Eat Up 2nd edition

Come and Celebrate Pro Arts' second Art Eat Up is taking place Friday, July 9th, 7-10pm at Grace Church Van Vorst. We hope that many of you will attend this event and vote to support an artist's project. Our last event was fun and a great success as attendees collectively award a $640 grant,
despite an apocalyptic rain storm.

Tickets are a suggested $20 donation, which includes a delicious dinner prepared by Made With Love, dessert, a cup for wine and beer and one ballot to vote on an art project to receive funding. The first 60 people get the full dinner. For those who are just thirsty, it is $10 for ballot and a cup. Votes can be cast for $5 without entry.

Art Eat Up is a grants process that gives an artist or artist group an unrestricted financial resource to realize a visual arts proposal, whether it is for one piece or an entire body of work.

July 9th Participating Artists and Project Titles:

* Erik Attia, Double Entendre
* James Frederic Rose, Truth, Blood and Love
