Student artwork, gourmet gastronomy, dance
performances - those are only a few of the memorable components of this year’s
annual fundraiser, Dia del Sol. If you've never been to Dia del Sol, it's a
wonderful time that provides folks the opportunity to celebrate and support our
work here in the Grandville Avenue community through a variety of means: a
silent auction featuring artwork donated by local artists, direct purchasing of
gift certificates to local entities and a selection of hand-made crafts (many of
them created by our own community members!). Not only that, but there's
delicious cuisine, a dance performance by one of the Cook Arts Center's dance troupes,
and displays throughout the building where one can get an idea of what our
programming is like at GAAH.
One of the ways in which this year’s event
differed slightly from past years was that it featured artwork created by a
select team of Cook Arts and Cook Library Center students who ranged in ages
from 7-13. Their finished pieces looked amazing hanging in frames above bidder
stands! Another memorable event was the unveiling of the Cook Arts
Center's beautiful new mural that Pottery Studio Director Madeline Kaczmarczyk
created. If you have any name suggestions for our mural, please let us know by
giving us a call or emailing Bethany at arts@gaah.org. A huge thank you to all
of our sponsors and friends who came to celebrate with us for this year's Dia
del Sol. For those of you who missed it, we hope to see you next year and thank
you for your support in spirit!
