Fillmore Arts Center is a vital resource
in our community, providing arts
and music instruction every week to DC Public School children from
elementary and middle schools throughout the city. Fillmore has been in
operation for over thirty years and, like many arts programs, has to
fight
for every dollar it needs to keep this unique program running.
Now the community has a chance to support Fillmore while enjoying a very
special night out. Fillmore is currently selling tickets for its annual
fundraiser, Dinner with an Artist, which will take place on Thursday,
March
6, 2008. It's a rare chance to enjoy a very special, intimate evening
with
some of Washington's brightest artistic stars. This year's artists are
remarkable: chef Nora Poullion, artistic director Michael Kahn, musician
Chuck Brown, choreographer Dana Tai Soon Burgess, tango dancer Sharna
Fabiano, painter/potter Rebecca Cross, stamp designer Ethel Kessler, and
author Alan Cheuse.
And the best part? ALL of the money collected goes back to Fillmore to
support the arts programs that the children in your community enjoy
every
week. Rarely do you find such an "everybody wins" prospect!
Please have a look at the event description located at the following web
address:

Even if you cannot attend,
please forward the email to anyone and everyone you know who might be
interested. The price and contact information for purchasing tickets are
at the bottom of the flyer.
Sincerely,
Karen O'Connor-Floman
Friends of Fillmore Arts Center
