ARTrageous at the Nassau County Bar

Looking for something new to brighten up your home during these dreary days of winter? You can satisfy your passion for art and at the same time help your neighbors most in need by participating in the first “ARTrageous at the BAR” on Thursday, February 2, 2012, sponsored by the WE CARE Fund of the Nassau County Bar Association.

The ARTrageous art show will feature original works by a variety of artists, both new and established, created in many media including paintings in oils and watercolor, alabaster and marble sculptures, painting on tile, gouache and more, all offered at silent auction to allow for a wide range of prices. Art aficionados can peruse the display while sampling OUTrageous hors d’oeuvre provided by Quartz Caterers, sipping cocktails including the newly created “ARTrageous Martini,” and listening to delightful music provided by the Herricks High School Chamber Group.

WE CARE funds are raised by the legal profession and the community-at-large at various fund raising activities throughout the year. 100% of the funds raised are distributed through charitable grants to improve the quality of life for children, the elderly and others in need throughout Nassau County. In the 25 years since its founding, Nassau County attorneys have raised more than $2 million for more than 100 local charitable causes.

ARTrageous at the Bar is Thursday, February 2, 2012, 6-9 p.m.  at the Nassau County Bar Association, 15th and West Streets, Mineola. Reservations are $75 per person; or $100 per person, which includes $50 credit towards an art purchase. Reservations may be made online at www.nassaubar.org, or checks made out to the WE CARE Fund may be mailed to the Nassau County Bar Association, 15th and West Streets, Mineola, NY.
