Fairfax-based nonprofit Our Daily Bread (ODB) invites the public to attend a special evening of art, wine and strengthening community in association with the Fairfax Spotlight on the Arts Festival to benefit the families it serves in the Fairfax County area who are working toward financial self-sufficiency. “Artful Living” will be held on Saturday, April 23, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., at the Stacy C. Sherwood Community Center in Fairfax City (3740 Old Lee Highway, Fairfax).
Attendees will enjoy a juried art show featuring works by local artists that will be available for sale, vote for their favorite work, enjoy live music by local Latin-jazz band Batida Diferente, appetizers from Dolce Vita, wine from Pearmund Cellars, and a craft beer tasting featuring the Washington Post Food Section’s 2016 Beer Madness “Final Four” beers. Art work will be offered for sale. A live auction with auctioneer Edwina Oronoff will offer items including a game-day experience with Jayson Werth and the Washington Nationals, a Wolf Trap evening at the opera experience, an Outer Banks vacation rental, and a wine basket featuring several special vintages. During the evening, an Our Daily Bread Project BRIDGE Program client will speak about her experiences working with ODB’s staff and volunteers to move herself and her family from a place of need to one of true financial self-sufficiency. Admission is $45 per person in advance and $50 at the door. Tickets may be purchased at www.ODBFairfax.org or at the event. Contact 703-273-8829 or info@ODBFairfax.org for more information.
