On Wednesday, March 28, 2012 Young Variety hosted its annual Open Your Heart to Art Event at Zemi in New York City. The event was a huge success with close to 100 attendees present, supporting Variety the Children’s Charity of New York and the work that we do. The event was an opportunity for Young Variety to put the spotlight on one of Variety of New York’s grantees, Community-Word Project, an organization that strives to help at-risk young people become critical and creative thinkers who are prepared for the challenges and opportunities they will face in these rapidly changing times. Their classroom multidisciplinary arts residencies provide a high quality, sustained experience in the arts.
All who came out to support were able to hear up about the work that Variety of New York and Community-Word Project do to better the lives of young people in some of our most under-served communities. Guests in attendance were able to view artwork completed by children participating in Community-Word Project’s programs.
Proceeds from the evening’s ticket and raffle ticket sales benefited Variety the Children’s Charity of New York and Community-Word Project.
