United Divas cordially invites you to a non-profit fundraiser
SPROUT @ TIMBREspace: Saturday June 12, 2004.

United Divas is pleased to announce SPROUT! This fundraiser will be the second of three multi-media events in this summer’s Garden Series. Dig, Sprout, & Blossom will not only feature artists from our organization, but several other talented individuals and groups as well... The ground-breaking first event, Dig, established our roots, bringing in the necessary nutrients for us to Sprout. As we tend to our new growth, we hope to Blossom into an official non-profit organization, helping multi-disciplined women artists to develop and thrive.
The second event, Sprout, curated by Sara Cembalisty, will feature a silent art auction with art, jewelry, and fashions from artists Reneé A. Fox, Holly Williams, Trang Chau, Susan Joseph, Moira Hahn, Trace Palmer, Geem Junga, and Miss Morgan Productions. The auction will open on Saturday June 12th for a previewing from 12noon - 4:00. The Auction will close at 11 PM. Auction sign up will be located at the United Divas booth.
Sprout will also feature a special music, dance, and fashion performance by Christen McArdle and Louis L'amour, Miss Morgan Productions, DanceEscapeCompany, and Geem Gunga.
Music by Sariah Storm and Ms. E.
