We are honored to be nominated as a 2007 Katy ARTreach Hero Among Us. We've been involved in various ways with Katy ARTreach with both our video work and donating time with young kids to teach Claymation.
The "Heros" had the opportunity to create a Katy ART car (generously underwritten by Don McGill Toyota of Katy) and also create HUB CAP art. (When I first looked at my hub cap and tried to become inspired, the center lugnut holes looked like a flower. Try getting inspired by a common object sometime. It's fun.) Our daughter even painted a beautiful hub cap.
The big unveiling of the Hub Cab Art was Thursday, Sept. 20th, at Tradition Bank on Grand Parkway. Downy Vickery, President of Tradition Bank's Grand Parkway location, was on hand to welcome everyone. The Hub Cabs will be on display (and open for bids) until the KAR Gala. Our family is well represented since Sandy, Janet, and Zoe each painted a Hub Cap!
The big KAR Gala is October 21, 2007 from 5pm to 9pm at Don McGill Toyota. See the ART CAR created by Katy ARTreach artists and Heroes Among Us for yourself! Bid on the 2007 HUB CAP ART. Enjoy amazing entertainment by URGEWORKS, Strike 3 Percussion, and SOUL FRUIT, with dinner catered by Hasta La Pasta.
