VALA Eastside, in partnership with the Redmond Marriott Town Center, would like to invite the public to attend a fundraiser to support the arts on the Eastside.

The fundraiser is being held from 5:30-7:30 p.m. on Oct. 30 at the Workspring space inside the Redmond Marriott Town Center and tickets can be purchased for $25 each through www.eventbrite.com. Raffle tickets for various prizes will be sold and a silent auction featuring artwork from local artists will be a part of the event with all proceeds benefitting VALA Eastside, a 501c3 non-profit arts organization based in Redmond.

The fundraiser will also be an opportunity to view the new installation of artwork at Workspring by local artists Flora Ramirez-Bustamante, Gwendolyn Zierdt, Lynn Rigby, Sadia Hussain, Savvy Dani and Shawn Simon.

The artists will be at the event to share more information about their work, which will be up in the space over the next year.

In 2014, VALA produced more than 50 free, public art events including the three day Redmond Arts Festival, artists’ residencies and installations at the VALA Art Center at Redmond Town Center. VALA relies on grants, partnerships and private donations to produce its arts programming/events and operate free to the public.
