The Art of Gratitude: An Evening of Creativity, Community, and Couture

What To Expect:

#1: A Meaningful & Stunning Art Market

See below the incredible and talented artists, both local and regional who had featured art work:

  • Christopher Peterson: Known for his stunning urban landscapes, Christopher’s oil paintings capture the intricate beauty of cityscapes. He’ll showcase both small and large pieces that reflect the essence of urban life.
  • Julieta Fumberg: Originally from Buenos Aires, Julieta’s abstract paintings and photo prints exude vibrancy and emotion. Her unique perspective combines graphic design, illustration, and photography, celebrating creativity as a way of life.
  • Robin Aiken: Representing Thornback Gallery, Robin’s works are a celebration of self-discovery, resilience, and the beauty of creation.
  • Laurie Buck: From White Whale Studio, Laurie’s paintings are deeply personal reflections of her journey to overcome self-imposed limitations and embrace the world’s beauty.
  • Mara Labell: Renowned jewelry artist with pieces showcased at the Grand Bohemian hotels in Greenville and Asheville. Despite facing challenges, including a significant loss of inventory, Mara continues to create breathtaking jewelry that tells a story of resilience.

#2 A Runway Show Like No Other:

We rolled out the red carpet for a couture bridal fashion show that featured stunning designs by Tina Valerdi, set against the breathtaking backdrop of Johni Bleu’s mural. Couture gowns, elegant jewelry by Mara Labell, and breathtaking hair and makeup by Nomadic Beauty came together to create a visual masterpiece right in the heart of our parking lot.

#3 Food, Music, and Festive Cheer:

The evening was made complete with live music by the talented Howl Tree Band, delectable hors d’oeuvres from Woodside Bistro, and custom-crafted cocktails by Neon Moon Mobile Bar. Guests also enjoyed a sneak peek of our Christmas décor, designed by the creative geniuses at Gatherings Creative.
