SUCCESS!

The event was a success! Thanks to all the artists who were generous enough to donate their work. A big thank you to everyone who showed up and donated goods for the art. We were blown away along with the Daily Planet by the amount of donations. Six van loads of good were dropped off to the daily planet today and everything will go to good use!
Check back soon to see art that can still be "purchased" (with donations)
And hopefully next fall for another Donations for Creations

Here we are with Maureen Neal from the Daily Planet with half of the donations!

One of our good friends in the Graphic Design department at VCU has very sweet talents. Jessica Millete is a vocalist/pianist/guitarist from the 757 Tidewater Hampton Roads area of Virginia (Virginia Beach to be specific "SIM PHA SEM!"). She will be performing at the Donations For Creations, time TBA. Most likely between 5pm & 8pm. Don't want to miss her! Here's a little blurb she has on her Music MySpace page & and a link to it:

"I'm pretty focused on school right now.

I play guitar, piano, sing & write songs. I've been playing shows for a few years now so, if you want me to play one, I probably will. For more, visit my purevolume site, my soundclick account or my youtube."
