artworxLA celebrates its 25th Annual Evening of Art

Written by Brenzy, Workshop Coordinator

On May 11th, artworxLA raised over $217,000 during its 25th Annual Evening of Art. With the support of a powerful community of committed individuals, artworxLA was able to send a resounding message that the arts can provide life-lasting opportunities for at-risk students in Los Angeles. This spectacular event, led by Gala MC and artworxLA student Dominique Lawhead, helped honor Film Producer Matt Tolmach, Filmmaker, Entrepreneur, and Activist Paige Goldberg Tolmach, and Author and Actress Octavia Spencer. We thank them for their tireless efforts in supporting the arts and celebrate their commitment to artworxLA.

Thanks to everyone who came to support us doing our 25th Annual Evening of Art. We look forward to seeing each of our guests next year as we celebrate our 26th Annual Evening of Art.
