Among the many arts-group fundraisers in town, the one for Tacoma Art Place is more than a little unusual. The non-profit Hilltop community-based art center, which offers low-cost equipment, storage, classes and work-space to artists and the general public, is combining high fashion with budget materials for its annual fundraiser this Saturday at the Hotel Murano.
‘Inspired Elegance’ teams professional designers with aspiring ones from Goodwill's Work-force (an employment aid service) to create a design from fabric and recycled items from Goodwill, over a 24-hour period. Participants will also get a style makeover from Embellish Multi-space Salon.The designs will be modeled on stage at the gala, which features the usual silent auction, dessert, wine and music.
"Inspired Elegance," a fundraiser for Tacoma Art Place, will be held at the Hotel Murano at 7:30 p.m. July 25. Tickets are $75 and tables of 10 are $700. RSVP to 253-756-5544, information 253-238-1006, www.tacomaartplace.org
TAP is open 1-8 p.m. Wednesday-Friday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday, noon-6 p.m. Sunday at 1116 S. 11th St., Tacoma.
