Tonight, support a wonderful fundraising event, “Artworks for Healing” at the Skirball Center. The event will benefit the nonprofit organization, A Window Between Worlds. Celebrating their 20th anniversary, this organization has helped thousands of survivors of domestic violence, through art programs.

The event is being presented in collaboration with Heidi Gray and the James Gray Gallery at Bergamot Station, as well as several other prominent Los Angeles galleries.
Sophia Gasparian is one of many successful artists who have agreed to donate their work to “Artworks for Healing” at the Skirball Center
Sophia talks about the event, “It is an honor to participate and be among a great company of people who care about public issues.” Then adds, “Women are often uneducated and unprepared for social success. With my painting titled ‘I Deserve You,’ I hope to encourage young people to expect positivity and greatness in their lives. We have to let go of our personal grief and fight for whatever we believe in. With a little inspiration from the arts, it is possible to achieve one’s dreams and goals.”
“Artworks for Healing” will be held from 7:00 -10:00 pm, at Skirball Cultural Center, 2701 N. Sepulveda, LA, 90049. The event will feature an art auction, champagne, hors d’oeuvres, and dessert. Tickets are $75.00 and can be purchased on their website.
Additional participating artists include: Peter Alexander, Herb Alpert, Larry Bell, Amy Caterina, Chase, Chukes, Shepard Fairey, Curt Gunther, Ed Moses, Cathy Salser and many more. www.sophiagasparian.com; http://awbw.org/awbw/donate-event_detail.php?id=178;
