Art & Philanthropy Joined Together

 The Valley Philanthropy Council held its second annual Art of Giving show yesterday at the Greater Valley Chamber of Commerce, and it was a major success. The Council, which was first started by Jane Snaider, former Director of Resource Development at Valley United Way, is a collaborative effort of eleven
Valley organizations including Valley United Way. The Council partnered with the Valley Arts Council on this project which created a juried art show with artists submitting pieces under the theme of the Art of Giving. The art work will be on display at the Chamber throughout the month.The two Councils will share in the proceeds of any sales made of the art work with the artists receiving the bulk of the sales for their works.

Our own Dave Grant was presented with the Philanthropic Leader of the Year Award at the event, the first of several awards for him this month! You can find full coverage of the event including a video on the Valley Independent Sentinel.
