Join us Saturday, November 12, when the Community Artists' Collective celebrates its 35th anniversary at the Decorative Center of Houston, 5120 Woodway Drive, 77
The evening, which begins at 6 p.m. with a Private VIP reception, will feature works by widely recognized visual artists, performing artists, dancing, a silent auction and food and libations.
For 35 years The Collective has been the catalyst that provides inspirational and educational sources for artists and citizens so that they can use their talents and creative abilities to solve economic, cultural and social challenges in the natural and built environments in which we live, work and serve.
The evening will feature works of art, performing artists, a silent and a live auction, a dinner and refreshments.
Event co-chairs are Leticia Plummer, David Mincberg and Lainie Gordon, Shawn Taylor and Gerald Womack.
Individuals recognized with awards are Gaynell Drexler, "Art Patron of the Year"; Charles L. Washington, "Artist in Action"; and Donna Anderson, the "Beverly Harmon Service Award."
Guests will be treated to an amazing array of entertainment during the evening, capturing the spirit of traditional to contemporary genres of the cultural community, including Houston’s poet laureate Outspoken Bean, the Carver High School stilt walkers, solo instrumentalists and vocalists, dance troupes and jazz bands.
In addition to individual tickets, Sponsorship and Support Circle levels are available by contacting mbarnes@thecollective.org. Please call 713-523-1616 or visit www.thecollective.org for more information.
