Tiers of Sponsorship for the 2014 “Starry, Starry Night…Almost a Masterpiece” Challenge & Art Auction Thursday, November 13, 2014

Benefiting youth in our emergency shelters and residential treatment facility Thursday, November 13, 2014 6:00- 10:00 pm at Embassy Suites in Rogers, Arkansas Sponsor Reception 5:30pm

Each year, Youth Bridge hosts one of its premier events called “Starry, Starry Night…Almost van Gogh” to raise money for Art Therapy Programs for youth in residential care. This program has been funded by previous partners such as Cox, Baum Foundation, Sam’s Club, Hershey and Denise Garner, Target, Glazer’s, Embassy Suites, Razorback Foundation and many individual contributors, as well as our media partners: CitiScapes, KUAF, NWA Media and 3W. Youth Bridge programs depend on the generosity of our partners to keep operating. We hope you will consider joining this team of contributors.

Because of increasing attendance at this popular event, we have moved to a new location and date.

Our new location is the Embassy Suites and the event will be on November 13, 2014.

The space will be transformed into a French cottage vineyard replete with art pieces from youth, amateurs and professionals. New this year will be the culinary artisans paired with other trade artists to explore art juxtaposed in a creative ways. The traditional art form used in the past for Starry, Starry Night will still be prominent, but other forms that incorporate sound, image and smell will also be a part of this fun event. Paintings, prints, drawings, photography, craft, design, performance, mixed-media, sculpture, installation, and live art will all be welcome. The theme has been opened up to include not only the van Gogh creations, but also your choice of other favorite artists or your own original masterpiece.

SPONSORSHIP LEVELS AND BENEFITS “Starry, Starry Night…Almost a Masterpiece” Challenge and Art Auction is a unique event to raise money for our Painting Better Futures Drive for our youth Art Therapy and to build a dedicated Education Center at our new Washington County Complex. This proposed Education Center is a part of our capital campaign to bring all of our Washington County operations to one convenient location. This event also funds the Art Therapy Programs in our shelters that help youth in crisis by providing a safe outlet to express their feelings.

Last year’s event was a huge success with well over 300 in attendance. Held at the Garner Farm, it raised over $50,000 to support care, services and therapy for the over 500 youth in our residential programs.

This year, we hope to raise twice as much with the expansion of the art mediums to music, theater, culinary arts and live performances.

We hope you will support our cause by choosing a sponsorship level for this year’s event to be held at the Embassy Suites on November 13, 2014. Your sponsorship would be a wonderful addition to the event and would certainly help increase the amount to be raised during the art auction .
