Art Auction Event: Tsunami Shoe Gala and Auction

I am planning to attend "Tsunami Shoe Gala and Auction on Thursday, June 16.
This is a fundraiser event for people who have affected by earth quake and tsunami in Japan. The admission to this event is a $5 donation, but I am pretty sure you are more than welcome to donate more than this only if you could :)
The Tsunami Shoe Project was done by different artists including students from The Art Institute of Seattle.

I haven't seen them yet, but thses shoes are on display in the Student Activities Center at The Art Institute of Seattle if any one like to see these designed shoes.
"The bidding will begin in the weeks before the auction and culminate at the Tsunami Shoe Concert and Silent Auction at Youngstown Cultural Arts Center (YCAC) on Thursday, June 16th at 7pm."

"The Concert and Gala is sponsored by Utrecht and Blank Canvas. The Culinary Club is creating Japanese inspired appetizers. The sound for this event is being managed by The Audio Club."

All donations will go to Japan Red Cross.
I am very exciting to see all those designed shoes by artists, and to help my home country, Japan.





One of the designed shoes photo I found in their facebook site. There are not too many photos yet, but I'll go ask if I could take more pictures of them at Student Activities Center and post here.
