Ray @ Night

June 13, 2009

Join us for a special look inside a local non-profits experience this Ray @ Night. Carrie Stewart, a co-founder of Nu Intentions will be here to share her story, photos and handmade jewelry. Carrie and her business partner, Ashleigh Livingston spent time in a remote village in Uganda, Africa teaching impoverished women to make jewelry. In turn, the jewelry is sold and the women were taught how to manage money and take care of themselves and their families.

Carrie and Ashleigh have set the stage for an amazing experience and changed the lives of these women. Come out Saturday and hear the story. We will be serving up drinks and snacks, as usual. Can't wait to see you all! Monty Montgomery's paintings will still be on display and up for sale, as well.

7:00pm – 10:00pm

Ray @ Night

April 12, 2008

It's time for art, drinks, music, food and shopping again! Yes, Ray @ Night is just a few days away and we are ready to have some fun! We have decided to keep up the artwork we have now because Jason Farai is so talented and he deserves to have his work seen just a little longer. He has had a great response and people are really interested in his work. It's very thought provoking and calming. You can feel his worldliness in each painting. Each piece has a religious feel and some are painted on wood, rather than canvas. It's some of the most interesting work we have had. We look forward to another fun night and hope you will come out and join us!

8:00pm – 11:00pm
