The charity event for Free Arts known as ‘The Kicktail Art Mixer” is about to be unveiled next week, and features the work of emerging and notable Los Angeles artists. Free Arts was founded in 1977 to bring arts to children in foster homes in order to help them recover from the abuse and trauma they had suffered.
With the assistance of over 200 trained adult volunteers, Free Arts provides creative arts programs to more than 22,000 children in Los Angeles annually. More information on Free Arts can be found on their website at www.freearts.org.
The Kicktail Art Mixer will take place on August 30th from 5pm – 9:30pm at Arts Share LA – 801 E 4th Pl, Los Angeles, CA 90013.
There will be a red carpet, open bar, painters, photographers, music, and event organizers are asking guests to pay a minimum donation of $20 – with all proceeds going to Free Arts.
EVENT SPONSOR
The event is sponsored by Kicktail Energy Mixers, a new company from Laguna Beach that produces premium-grade, all-natural cocktail mixers with an energy boost without the distracting taste. They come in Ginger Beer, Club Soda, Cranberry, Lemon-Lime, Tonic, and Cola. These mixers will be used with Crater Lake Spirits from Bend, Oregon; and for those that prefer beer there will be Pabst Blue Ribbon. Phillm Productions and Arts Share LA are also sponsors.
