A Big Thank You!

We have been very fortunate this year to have several organizations partner with us in raising money for the NoDa School of Arts by hosting art auctions, company events, and community fundraisers...

Courtemanche & Associates hosted an Art Gala to present Synergy, an art commission featuring seven works, at Green Rice Gallery on the evening of Wednesday, May 23, 2007. The event also raised donations and awareness for the NoDa School of Arts. Synergy was created by Kerrie Bellisario, an artist and a professor of art, teaching at Lesley University in the metropolitan area of Boston. www.courtemanche-assocs.com/press.shtml


Guys With Ties hosted the first ever Moulin Rouge Costume Ball at Cans Bar and Canteen in Uptown Charlotte on October 28th. All proceeds from the event went to support the NoDa School of Arts. The event drew over 1,500 people and raised over $15,000.

Kristine DeArmon LLC utilized a company event/open house of two newly renovated homes to raise money for the NoDa School of Arts. They hosted a silent auction with donated works from David Johnson, Mekenzie France, Rod Wimer, and Diemji Onafuwa.

And lastly, a pre-school class at Dilworth Elementary School auctioned off some of their art to raise money for our summer program.

We are so thankful for these opportunities, and wouldn't have been able to provide the level of programming that we have without them.
