2009 Charity Art Show Set for November 13th and 14th

04/20/2009 - Matthews, North Carolina

    The annual Charity Art Show hosted by Weaver, Bennett & Bland P.A. and the Silver Brush Society is scheduled for November 13th and 14th. This is the ninth year for the event which is held in the law offices of Weaver, Bennett & Bland P.A in Matthews, North Carolina. The event raises money to support the Matthews Help Center. 
    
       The mission of the Matthews Help Center is to care for those in the community by providing programs and services that will meet life's basic needs, and by connecting those in need with resources that improve the quality of life. Its services include crisis assistance with food, clothing, monetary assistance, health related transportation, blood pressure checks three mornings per week and a Thrift Shop. The Center has five paid staff, as well as approximately 130 volunteers. It operates out of a newly constructed 5,000 square foot building on Ames Street in Matthews which was paid for in full by donations. Operating revenue comes from donations, grants, and Thrift Shop sales.

    The Silver Brush Society is a group of experienced artists that use such media as watercolor, acrylic, polymers, pastel, and oil. The artists have created works that are proudly displayed in the homes and offices of many prior attendees to the annual show. Most of the artists have painted together for many years.

    The group will be showing their new works at the Art Show & Sale on November 10 in the offices of Weaver Bennett & Bland (196 N.Trade Street) in downtown Matthews. Group members currently are Greg Barnes, Vickie Ciccolella, Don Gilmer, Julie Johnson, John Lomax, John Moeslein, Sharon Schwenk, Peggy Simmons and Prudy Weaver. The Silver Brush Society looks forward to having you attend the Art Show, enjoy their work, and help support the Matthews Help Center.
