Arts in the Environment Benefit

Today I had the honor of attending the "Arts in the Environment" benefit held at St. Andrew & Holy Communion Church in my town South Orange, NJ. It was an Interfaith exhibit of Visual Arts, Song and Dance, and Poetry Readings. I also sold my sugar cookies that exhibited my interpretation of different elements in the environment. It was a very beautiful event with great vocal artists and great poetry readings. All of which were depicted around the environment. There were various artists there also selling some of their art pieces. Such beautiful artwork. I wish I had taken pictures but I wasn't able to leave my table and do so.  A 20% donation of the proceeds made from the sales were given to help raise money for thewaterproject.org. An organization dedicated to bringing clean, safe drinking water to Africa.

Below are pictures from the event.
