United Divas is pleased to announce their 2.2 Year Anniversary Benefit, sponsored by
Jersey City 's own Chilltown Magazine (www.chill-town.com) and Victory Hall (www.victoryhall.org).

United Divas Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering women to be artistic leaders, professionals, innovators, and role models for both aspiring and practicing artists. The primary goal of the anniversary benefit is to foster exposure of women artists, as well as promote donations in support of the United Divas Inc. Scholarship to benefit low-income mothers continuing their arts education.

United Divas is delighted to introduce an array of creative female artists showcasing paintings, photography, graphic design, jewelry, body adornments, music, spoken word, dance and tarot card readings.

The art auction exhibition will be open for viewing to the public during Victory Hall office hours on Saturday and Sunday from 12:00-6:00pm throughout the length of the exhibition and by appointment (201-209-0510) . Auction sign up will be located at the United Divas booth. The silent auction will close February 19th at 10 PM. Un-auctioned art will be available for sale at a fixed price following the event.

There will be plenty of opportunities to donate and purchase artisan products, such as art for your walls, handmade jewelry and CDs from our musicians at the United Divas booth located at Victory Hall. The Divas will be available to answer any of your questions about the artists and the organization. Donations are welcome and United Divas t-shirts will be available for purchase. All proceeds from donations and artist / vendor sales will go to the non-profit United Divas Inc. for the scholarship fund and organization expenses, 501(c)3 pending approval.

The United Divas 2.2 Year Anniversary is all ages and open to the public. Hope to see you there!
