With a twist to our traditional fundraiser, we proudly introduce three exclusive experiential events designed to inspire, entertain and raise awareness about Art Impact Project. Each uniquely engaging event will take place at a local venue with tickets for 100 or less participants and will be individually promoted and open to our community. Funds raised will empower Art Impact Project to amplify its mission of enhancing emotional wellness through creative expression by partnering with over 25 sites and providing more than 80 sessions of customized, empathy-driven programming for adolescents through seniors.
EVENT SCHEDULE
MAY 14 - ART:BRAIN Connection
Local artist and Neuropsychologist Joalida Smit will share her life-changing story of creative expression and the distinct brain-shaping benefits of artmaking, focusing on how the creative process rewires the brain. Participants will then be led through an interactive workshop to create a colorful neurographic art piece to take away as a memento.

JULY 14 - WRITE NIGHT: Storytelling Workshop
Steph Rogers, the talented and entertaining founder of StoryJamâ„¢, will lead guests through a dynamic, interactive workshop on how to develop and present a personal narrative that is more than just a cocktail party anecdote!

OCTOBER 4 - ART OFF THE WALL
The event begins at 3:00 p.m. with 50 ticket holders and their guests viewing 50 spectacular works of art on display at The Gallery of Lake Forest and assessing which piece of art they hope to take home! Each ticket holder is assigned a number. Then the game begins! When we call your number, it's your chance to grab your preferred piece of art right off the wall! The game continues; we randomly call out ticket numbers until the walls are bare. Each of the 50 ticket holders goes home with a wonderful piece of art, donated by local talent in support of Art Impact Project. Beverages & light refreshments provided.
50 tickets available at $200 (admits Ticket holder + 1 Guest)
