The Media Arts Project is a local nonprofit dedicated to promoting media arts and artists in western North Carolina. I’m on the Board. If you haven’t been to the website to check ‘em out, you’re missing a great hub for some amazing artists and art-loving businesses.
Another wonderful local group is the Asheville Affiliates. “The Asheville Affiliates is a community of more than 3,000 individuals who are invited to attend fundraising events hosted by and supporting Asheville-area nonprofit organizations.”
On December 3rd, The Asheville Affiliates are hosting a bang-up party, and you ought to be there. When you buy a ticket you’ll be getting a guaranteed good time while helping out a lot of non-profits here in Asheville. As a past beneficiary, The Media Arts Project has the chance to win a portion of the proceeds from the event – estimated at $3,000. In order for us to qualify, we only have to sell 10 tickets. They are $30 each and you can purchase them online at www.wncap.org (WNC AIDS Project is partnering with the Affiliates to produce this event). From the Facebook Event:
Please join us for the Asheville Affiliates 10th Anniversary Event “Party Like its 1999â€, presented by Charlotte Street Computers at The Venue in downtown Asheville.
We invite all our past nonprofit beneficiaries, board members, sponsors, attendees and the general public to celebrate our 10th year of serving non-profits in Western North Carolina. Since our inception in 1999, we have partnered with 40 WNC non-profits to raise an estimated $150,000!
Asheville Jazz Orchestra will get the party started, then we’ll party to great hits from the 90’s and even Prince’s iconic “Party Like its 1999â€!
As our producing partner, Western North Carolina AIDS Project (WNCAP) will receive a portion of the proceeds from the event. The remainder will then be pooled into a lump sum, and during the evening’s festivities three participating non-profits will be randomly selected to split the remaining proceeds – estimated at $3,000 each!
Please come and Party Like It’s 1999! When you purchase your ticket, type The Media Arts Project into the “nonprofit affiliation” line to benefit all of our Asheville media artists!
