Having a D'Vine Night

As you may recall  in a recent blog (http://abstractalexandra.blogspot.com/2014/08/benefiting-arthritis-foundation.html) my work with the Juvenile Arthritis Foundation.
Sunday, Aug 3, from 1-3 pm was a Gallery Reception at Lowcountry Artists Gallery in Charleston, SC for the Arts for Arthritis. 

The pieces were for sale while in the art gallery for the month of August. Art pieces that did not sell at the gallery were on auction at the D'Vine Affair on Sept 6 and still available online (

The D'Vine Affair was held on Saturday, September 6 at Memminger Auditorium Charleston, SC. A wonderful event. As a participating artist I was delighted to see how well the art was lit and promoted.

The D'Vine Affair has become more than just a charity gala. Over the years, it has developed into an almost year-round inspiration for those with arthritis and those seeking to help them.
The Arts for Arthritis Program shows us all that children and adults afflicted with arthritis may no longer have to suffer some of the devastating and debilitating effects they once did. With current treatment, the illnesses that once placed kids in wheelchairs and deformed their joints can now be controlled to allow them to do things as delicate as creating artistic masterpieces. The art they create is beautiful living proof of this glorious transformation of how we view and treat arthritis.

Was a fun evening and a wonderful fundraiser.
