The Idaho Art Gallery is hosting the Second Annual "Art for a Cause" on February 8, 2024, at the Riverside Hotel in Garden City, ID. This event, from 6 pm to 8 pm, harmonizes artistry and altruism with the aim of benefiting two local non-profit organizations: the Nampa Family Justice Center and the Women's and Children's Alliance (WCA).

"Art for a Cause," initiated by the Idaho Art Gallery, is a heartfelt initiative to make a positive impact on the community. The goal is to raise funds and awareness for the Nampa Family Justice Center and WCA, both dedicated to promoting safety, self-sufficiency, hope, and healing for those affected by abuse.

The event promises sensory delights, featuring heavy appetizers, desserts and, hosted beer and wine. A cash bar will be available for those seeking additional refreshments. Unique auction items include "Art & Experience," pairing art with immersive experiences. The evening will also showcase live and silent auctions, various raffle games, and the chance to win high-value prizes.

Nelli Garibyan, the owner of the Idaho Art Gallery and event organizer, expressed enthusiasm stating, “This event has gained great momentum. We have assembled incredible support from area businesses to support these two worthwhile organizations.”

The success of "Art for a Cause" owes much to the generous support of sponsors like Boise & Meridian Lifestyle Magazines, Chandlers, 44 East Boutique, Idaho Power, The Riverside Hotel, Lost Grove Brewery, and others. Their support aligns with the spirit of community and compassion. A complete list of sponsors will be available on the event website.
