Capitol Hill’s big upcoming event is Thursday afternoon as the theater-powered mixed-use development 12th Ave Arts celebrates its grand opening.
Also this weekend, six local artists will come together in support of Capitol Hill’s The Project Room to host a two day sale event. Donum: a Sale of Contemporary Art and Fashion will take place on November 21 and 22nd from 1 to 7 PM. The artists will display and sell their works — 25% of their proceeds will in fact go to support The Project Room.
Born three years ago, E Pine’s The Project Room provides grant and giving-powered art programs to the public in an effort to maintain a free flow of art and creativity in the city. The organization has been holding workshops and various art events and presentations since its opening. “We are trying to raise money for The Project Room, support these artists and connect to new audiences,” Britt Rynearson, planner for the show and a Project Room board member, told CHS.
Donum is an annual sale which brings local artists together in an effort to promote art and raise money for a local charity. Last year the show raised money for Coyote Central which is an organization that provides art programs in the Central District.
“Each person involved is very established and they work full-time as a designer and they are all local,” Rynearson said. The featured artists for this event are Dawn Smithson, Mia Fioravanti, Tia Kramer, Lynda Sherman and Elena Korakianitou as well as Rynearson. The event will kickstart on November 20 with a V.I.P. party. The party will feature all six of the local artists, major donors and special client of the artists.
There will be variety of items like scarves and clothings, handbags, jewellery, handmade cards and a lot more. Items are priced from $20 to $1000. Rynearson herself will be displaying permanently pleated scarves and shawls.
Audiences will also be treated to a live performance by opera singer Janna Wachter at 6 PM on both days.
