Art League Houston is excited to invite the public to our annual fundraising event The Marty: A Montrose Art Party, on Friday, May 4, from 6:00 - 9:00 PM, to benefit Art League Houstons Healing Art program, which provides free art instruction and supplies to adults living with serious illness and physical disabilities. Entry to the event is free and open to the public.
This year's theme is the 1980s so get ready to boogie along with the DJ to your favorite 80s tunes, while delighting in savory treats and delicious desserts by Butter & Co. and tasty beverages from Saint Arnold Brewing Company, Tito's Handmade Vodka and Inversion Coffee House. An 80s-style photo-booth created by popular Houston Street artist Daniel Anguilu will be on-site, equipped with party props supplied by Arnies Warehouse, ready for you and your friends to have fun! 80s-themed costumes are encouraged.
The event will feature a selection of artwork for sale by Healing Art students, and Art League Houstons Studio School students in the main and project galleries, as well as an exciting silent auction with items such as an iPad, Art League Art Socials and artwork by Daniel Anguilu up for grabs. A portion of the artwork and concession proceeds will help support Art League Houston's Healing Art program.
Please join us in supporting this unique and valuable program, while enjoying the opportunity to purchase amazing artwork by amazing artists at affordable prices!
About Art League Houston's Healing Art Program
In 1990, Art League Houston founded its free Healing Art program for adults living with HIV+/AIDS. In 1995, ALH provided additional Healing Art classes to serve adults living with other severe illnesses including cancer, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, and physical disabilities. The ALH Healing Art program is the only one of its kind for adults in Houston, outside of hospital or clinical settings. ALH Healing Art classes are offered free of charge. ALH teaching artists Kermit Eisenhut and Emily Sloan instruct Healing Art students in painting, collage, drawing, and mixed media. In addition, ALH provides Healing Art students with opportunities to exhibit and sell their art each year.
