On Saturday, May 3rd, we sipped, we savored and we supported!
An Afternoon to Remember
Held at Amici, the evening brought together friends, alumni, artists, supporters, and wine lovers for a cause that’s close to all our hearts. Guests enjoyed curated wine tastings, a delicious lunch buffet, and tried their luck at wonderful raffle prizes: a wine pull featuring wines from Tenuta Torciano and Chatham Wine & Liquor), a family photoshoot with Edward Acker Photography, an Italian adventure itinerary planning, and a trip to Tuscany (both courtesy of Amoria Journeys).



Why It Matters
THANK YOU to our guests, donors and sponsors, we raised $25,000 to directly benefit our historic and fully-subsidized Core Residency Program. Every dollar raised helps fund residencies that provide artists with time, space, and support to create. These programs are essential for nurturing creativity, building community, and supporting the next generation of visionaries. We’re deeply grateful to our wine partners, local sponsors, volunteers, and everyone who donated art, time, or funds. Your support helps keep the arts thriving!


Your support ensures we can continue to provide meaningful residency experiences to multidisciplinary artists throughout the year. Stay tuned for updates on upcoming artist showcases, fundraising events, and the impact your contributions are making: subscribe to our newsletter and follow us on social media—just scroll down to the footer below!
SO MUCH GRATITUDE: from the bottom of our hearts: Thank you. You’ve helped make art possible.
