Charleston Habitat for Humanity had an amazing time at the Art for Charity event on June 10th, 2010 from 5:30-7:30pm!! This wonderful event was hosted by Michael Mitchell Interiors, an interior design firm operating in Charleston and Columbia, South Carolina, and New York. You can find our local Michael Mitchell Interiors on 438 King Street, Charleston. We were so lucky to have an opportunity to partner with this design firm to raise money to further our mission to end poverty and provide safe homes for those in need.
The art ranged in so many styles and forms from oils to sculptures, to recycled creations, to furniture, from traditional to modern pieces. Each piece of art was lovely and unique to their creator.
Art For Charity features a wide variety of artwork from local and national artists. Artists include Marty Biernbaum, Deanna Bowdish, Terry Brennan, Joe Byrne, John Crum, R.L. Gibson, Heidi Darr-Hop, Toni Elkins, Rex Hunter, Jon Ives, Kim Keats, Karen Keen-Day, Stephen Kishel, Alicia Leeke, Elena Madden, Debbie Martin, Betsy McDonald, Easter Melton, Bruce Nellsmith, Betsey Stevenson, Darlett Stone, Carl Turner and Marlies Williams.
A portion of the proceeds from all the art purchased that evening went to help support Charleston Habitat for Humanity, Mitchell said he “would like to give every person every opportunity to give.”
In addition to working with us, they partnered with other local non-profit organizations including the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) Hollings Cancer Center, Charleston Breast Center, MUSC Children’s Hospital, Ronald McDonald House, American Red Cross, South Carolina Aquarium and Roper Saint Francis Ryan White Program.
The two hour event was enjoyed by everyone who came out to support us, THANK you to every single individual who came out to Art for Charity; we appreciate your continued involvement with Charleston Habitat for Humanity!
