In a harmonious blend of artistic expression and philanthropy, the Idaho Art Gallery is gearing up to host the Second Annual "Art for a Cause" on February 8, 2024, from 6 pm to 8 pm at the Riverside Hotel. This event is poised to offer attendees an enchanting evening, combining creativity and compassion, all in the name of supporting two local non-profit organizations—the Nampa Family Justice Center and the Women's and Children's Alliance (WCA).

"Art for a Cause" is a deeply meaningful initiative by the Idaho Art Gallery, aiming to make a positive difference in the community. The event is dedicated to raising funds and awareness for the Nampa Family Justice Center and WCA, organizations steadfastly committed to promoting safety, self-sufficiency, hope, and healing for individuals affected by abuse.

Activities to Ignite the Senses

Attendees, both art enthusiasts and advocates alike, are in for a treat. Indulge in a sensory journey with heavy appetizers and desserts, complemented by hosted beer and wine. A cash bar will be available for those seeking additional refreshments. The highlight of the evening includes a unique auction experience titled "Art & Experience," where fortunate winners will acquire a piece of art paired with an associated experience that complements the artwork's theme. The night will also feature live and silent auctions, various raffle games, and the opportunity to win high-value prizes.

"This event has gained great momentum," shared Nelli Garibyan, owner of the Idaho Art Gallery and the event's organizer. "We have assembled incredible support from area businesses to bolster these two worthwhile organizations," she added.
