Dine Out for Art Therapy - Transitional Resources Benefit
Thursday, April 12th 2012 - All Day

SAVE THE DATE: Dine out for Art Therapy on Thursday, April 12 is a fundraising event for our valued, communtiy partner, Transitional Resources, in collaboration with the West Seattle Art Walk!

Join the first annual Food for Art event, which will raise funds to benefit the art therapy program at Transitional Resources. Transitional Resources is a nonprofit organization in West Seattle serving men and women living with severe and persistent mental illness. We help over 200 individuals in our community stay off the streets, out of institutions, and on the road to recovery.

The Food for Art concept is simple: Restaurants from around West Seattle will contribute a portion of sales on one night – Thursday, April 12 (in conjunction with the West Seattle Art Walk) – to help support Transitional Resources’ art therapy program.
