Passionate Focus 2017
Gala/Party for Second SenseApr 20, 2017 from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Passionate Focus is our annual benefit that centers around an art exhibit featuring the work of artists with vision loss. Artists submit their work for a jury of arts professionals to review and select the pieces that comprise the exhibit. This year, 21 artists from 11 states, Canada and France will exhibit 40 works of art.
Our guests meet the artists and are able to bid on the artwork. The event also features several fundraising activities to secure donations that will support our training programs for adults with vision loss -- all at no cost to the participants.
Last year, over 250 sponsors and guests attended this event, purchased over 50% of the work and provided over $180,000 in support of our direct training programs in technology, daily living skills and independent travel.
