More than 30 artists have donated their work for “Life Is A Gift” – a benefit celebration and art auction 2:00 – 6:00 PM, Sunday, July 30th at the Petroleum Club, says Noma Fowler-Sandlin. The event is a celebration of life and art that will share the work of area artist and raise funds to support fellow artist Scott Griffin, who faces an aggressive form of cancer. Reservations are $35.00 per person. For reservations and more information visit www.friendsofscottgriffin.com or call 318-459-2626.
Patrons will enjoy a broad selection of original artwork from which to bid through silent auction. A variety of other valuable items from area businesses will also be auctioned. The theme will be much like a birthday party, with festive decorations, heavy hors d’oeuvres, live music and a very, very special gift for everyone who comes.
Proceeds from this event will go to “Friends of Scott Griffin,” a grass roots organization formed to lend assistance to Shreveport artist, musician and photographer Scott Griffin, who is now battling cancer and has been unable to work for several months. The goal is to raise public awareness of cancer, share Griffin’s work and raise donations to help offset his expenses.
