Parisole Art Foundation First Fridays (May) Community CART

Salva and O’Renick Marketing located in Kansas City’s 1810 Gallery have allowed The Parisole Arts to host a monthly exhibit during First Fridays called Community CART. The benefit’s purpose is to raise awareness, art donations, and funds for art therapy and Kansas City charities who care for or support abused, neglected, and ill youth. The exhibits are free for all ages and feature live art demonstrations, entertainment, and local artisan booths.

Each participating artist is required to donate an art work to the featured charity group. This May I participated in the event and donated the painting above to Children’s Mercy Hospital. Also 10% of each art work sold goes to help fund the Parisole Arts mission to help the Kansas City community. The event was a great success, not only was it fun I was able to meet some great like minded individuals. I know I will be participating again next month so I hope to see you all there!
