Live Painting at Big Brothers/Sisters 13th Annual Gala
Dim Media will be painting live at the 13th Annual Big Brothers Big Sisters Fundraiser Gala. This years event is titled “Safari on the Serengeti”. As such, Dim will be creating three brand new “Safari” themed pieces that will be auctioned off at the end of the night to raise money for the organization. We’ll also be donating some one-on-one art instruction time as an additional auction item. Dim is excited to be a part of this high-profile event and to help raise money for a very worthy cause.

You’re invited to join us for an enchanted evening on the Serengeti. From 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., enjoy a wine reception while bidding on a ballroom full of fabulous silent auction items. A special dinner, program and live auction take place between 7:30 and 9:00 p.m., and auction check-out and dancing carry on until 11 p.m.
The night includes electrifying performances by the Tiyumba Dance Company and the swinging sounds of the Sevilles, all emceed by anchors from a local news affiliate.
