PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Charlotte, North Carolina January 7, 2013– Art, Wine & Cheese events provide funding for Beyond the Arts youth programs in Charlotte and surrounding counties of North Carolina to secure free to lowcost programming. Beyond the Arts is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to providing free to low-cost art workshops that include dance, painting and more to youth ages 5-12 in Mecklenburg County and surrounding counties. Currently serving well over 300 youth, Beyond the Arts seeks to enhance the minds of the youth by giving them a platform to explore their creative abilities. For the past two years, Beyond the Arts has come up with a unique event that helps to provide funding sources for their program; Art, Wine & Cheese. These exclusive events provide adults 21 and up the opportunity to enjoy a relaxing, yet artful evening of networking while creating their own masterpieces of art. The perks of these events are that Hor D'oeuvres, chocolate covered strawberries and a variety of wines are served as live vocals and a band are serenading you in the background. Paying homage to the art communities, Cathay Dawkins, the certified instructor for the Art, Wine & Cheese events and also the CEO of Beyond the Arts makes sure he’s keeping the intrigued minds in the room full of life as he directs them to create from their hearts. Giving them detailed instructions, but letting them create from their points of view is one of the mottos that Mr. Dawkins chooses to live by when instructing youth and adults. “My goal is to ensure that each person is in a relaxed and sound mode, while we are having fun”, says Mr. Dawkins. Seeking the attention of art lovers, these events were created for adults to have a freedom of expression on a canvass, while helping to support the youth in the Beyond the Arts program. Coming in February 2013, Beyond the Arts will host their next Art, Wine & Cheese event at Behailu Academy located at 451 E. 36th Street, Charlotte, North Carolina 28205 for their Valentine’s Art, Wine & Cheese Event. There will be plenty of surprises that will come from the hearts of these art lovers, so if you are ready to create please join the fun.
