✨🎨 Benevolent Brush Art Reception Recap 🎨✨
What an incredible evening we shared this past Saturday, June 6th! The Benevolent Brush Art Reception was truly a full-circle success, and it would not have been possible without the amazing community that came together to make it happen. 💫
A huge shoutout to our talented student artists—your creativity, passion, and hard work lit up the room and inspired us all. You are the heart of this project! 👏🏽🖌️
Special thanks to the dedicated teachers and the incredible team at Mastery School of Hawken for your guidance, encouragement, and commitment to uplifting our young artists.
We also extend our gratitude to the UCI and UCPD staff for your strong show of support and for showing up to participate—it truly meant so much to our students and our community. 💙
📸 Thank you to photographer George Michaels for capturing the spirit and beauty of the paintings.
🎤 And thank you to our wonderful MC, Angela Steve, for bringing energy and grace to the night.
To everyone who attended, voted, and supported—you made the event so meaningful. And to those who bid on the artwork, your generosity will make a lasting impact, with proceeds benefiting six different charities. 💛
This event was more than an art show—it was a celebration of creativity, connection, and giving back.
Thank you all for your support and for helping us bring this vision to life. Together, we made something truly special. 💫🎨
