Great Party For A Great Cause



I know this is a shameless, self-promoting plug for the organization I work for, but I wouldn't do this if it weren't necessary. This is a special event and your particpation will be well worth it. You actually get out of the house on a Friday night, you will be able enjoy incredible food and wine, and have the opportunity to bid on some amazing art from some amazing local artists . . . all the while enhancing the lives of our friends, family, and neighbors who are struggling to live with HIV / AIDS.

Event: Corks & Canvas
Date: Friday, April 29 7:00-10:00 p.m.
Location: Belger Arts Center 2100 Walnut - Kansas City, MO

Corks & Canvas, now in its fifth year, is an art, food and wine auction, which has been consistently sold-out with proceeds benefiting Good Samaritan Project.This year, Corks & Canvas will be held at the Belger Arts Center in Kansas City’s historic Crossroads Art District on Friday, April 29. This a fabulous space and much larger than any venue used in the past.

We are excited to offer you the opportunity to participate this year and we urge you to use this event’s patronage levels as a creative tool for thanking clients and vendors, or simply getting together with friends to experience this vibrant and new cultural district renowned for its Friday night gallery crawls, hip new restaurants and exciting residential loft-living.

Far from your typical black tie fundraiser, the main event and the Patron Party are casual, eclectic and incredibly fun evenings! Fine wines are poured throughout the evening on April 29; Local caterers will add creative genius to an excellent fare of hors d’oeuvres; and of course, wonderful art, wine and creative theme party packages are the centerpiece of this fundraising auction.

Participate in both silent and live auctions featuring a fabulous array of art, food trips and wine!

Here is a sampling of some auction items:

  • Original art from over 70 local and regional artists including oils, acrylics, ceramics, paper, glass-blown and sterling silver jewelry, fiber, photography and mixed media. Kansas City painter/sculptor Rita Blitt is a featured artist.
