Please help us provide art supplies for the artists of the future! The Ramn C Cortines School Visual Arts Academy fundraising party will be Down the Rabbit Hole, an Art Auction and Surrealist Caf. We are going to have a variety of Lewis Carroll and Surrealist related art projects organized into a French street theme with several shops. Students and artists will be creating Surrealist, or what you will, artworks for our silent auction. We expect an attendance of 500 people. The main party will be serving complimentary coffee, tea, beverages and desserts with paid admission. Dinner will be available at a food truck rally adjacent to the event with food trucks donating a portion of their profits to the Visual Arts Academy. The Art Auction and Surrealist Caf will include an art auction, refreshments, live music, an opportunity drawing, and a costume contest. It will be a festive family event for our community and art collectors, which will follow the opening of our spring visual arts exhibition, Art on Cloud 9. The student exhibition will be open for viewing from 4-8pm. Last year, our students found creating the same project as professional artists and showing side by side with them one of the most rewarding part of their school year. The theme of this fundraiser encourages our students to engage with artists and art history, so in addition to earning much needed budget, it becomes a valuable learning experience.
