Honoring Jeff Schlanger (musicWitness®)
Arts for Art’s annual Family Gathering will take place on the 2nd floor of The Clemente in Teatro LaTea on Friday, December 6th. This event kicks off the Artists & Friends annual fundraising campaign. All funds raised will support Arts for Art and the Improvised Creative Arts. It will be a gathering of the community celebrating love, unbridled creativity, and the creative legacy of the great Jeff Schlanger, musicWitness®.
The focus of Family Gathering will be: Love of Community and Empowerment. It is more important than ever that AFA stands firmly in our ideals with eyes wide-open to the dangers that are present and the danger that lies ahead. Secondly, we are equally committed to love and joy.
This celebration is an affirmation of life, creativity, positive action, empowerment, diversity, and common humanity. When you contribute to Arts for Art, you are helping ensure a vital future for this amazing art and community. Let’s come together to create a world that we want to live in.
Food will be prepared by AFA Chefs: Hope Carr, Marcellus Holton, & Shashanka.
