In conjunction with the Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce, Agora Gallery will be hosting Young Professionals: A Joint Networking Event with World Childhood Foundation. In this charity event, young professionals will combine art with business in order to benefit the worthy Childhood: World Childhood Foundation, an organization founded by Queen Silvia of Sweden, which works to reach out to children at risk around the globe.
Ticket holders will create their own paintings under the guidance of an art instructor. The 6:30 – 8:30 PM event is not only going to benefit charity, it will also provide young professionals an excellent opportunity to network. Of course, all ticket sales will go directly to the World Childhood Foundation to support their many projects dedicated to the welfare of children everywhere.
The event also will feature an appearance by 10-year-old DJ Kai Song
Agora Gallery is honored to provide the venue for this worthy cause. We have long believed in the importance of using artwork not only as a means of expression, but as a means of providing real, tangible change in the world. We love when we can connect art to charity, having worked in the past with The Children’s Heart Foundation and From Here to Haiti.
