What happens when you use your talents to work against the
things you are most concerned about?
Well, in the case of Andrea Krook, these things combined to create an
Art Auction and Benefit for Rescue:Freedom, which is happening on Sunday,
August 18th from 4 – 7 P.M.
Andrea is a
graduate student at Northwest University in International Care and Community
Development. The program is about two
years in length. Every summer break, the
students complete a practicum in a field which interests them. Andrea knew she wanted to acquire project
management experience. She’s a
watercolor artist (andreakrook.com).
And, she has a growing concern for the local and international sex
trafficking problem. The chair of her
department introduced her to Jeremy Vallerand of Rescue:Freedom, and, after
much thought, it was decided to put on an auction as a fundraiser for the
organization.
The event itself is free and is being
held in Pioneer Square at The Hub (thehubseattle.com) at 220 2nd Ave South, Seattle, WA 98104 with plenty of
street parking nearby. The auction will
feature artwork by over 27 artists, including an acrylic by Brad Dinsmore
(brad-dinsmore.com/home.html). He
created a painting just for this event.
It will also feature high quality craft items made by survivors of sex
trafficking from India. We’ve seen their
work, and it’s beautiful.
The event will also feature music
and a live performance by Candice Russell who made it as far as Hollywood
during season 11 of American Idol (candicerussell.com). It will also feature free food, wine from
Sozo Friends Winery, and coffee from Caffe Lusso.
