It has been two days since Art From the Unexpected and we at Ad Lounge are still overwhelmed by the abundant response and support we’ve been receiving from the community. Five months ago when we first conceptualized the concept for Art From the Unexpected, we didn’t think anyone could have imagined that this event would bring together the crowd that it did, inspire the creativity that was displayed and inspire the charitable spirit demonstrated.
This past Tuesday, June 16th 20 of our industry’s leaders stood in front of their peers and presented a piece of art work they personally created around the theme of “Eureka!” to be auctioned off for charity.
By the end of the night, a group effort instigated by Goodwin Gibson helped bring the total to $20,000 raised for Sketch, an arts studio safe space for at risk and homeless youth. Overall, the event was an unbelievable hit and we couldn’t be happier about how things turned out. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who donated their valuable time, effort and resources to help make the event successful and to all those who attended.
MySpace so graciously sponsored us by offering to do a post-event review on video.
Pictures will be posted by end of day tomorrow on our Facebook Group.
