MTGB: The Winners are Announced!
11/12/2008 7:51 AM By Sharon PotschWe did it—Artisan not only threw a smashing party but our “Match that Gives Back” ultimately contributed $25,000 to an outstanding charity: Snow City Arts. This amazing charity provides artistic outreach to hospitalized children who due to their hospitalization are lacking access to school and art programs. The program stays with the children through their return home—it truly is a program that instills a love of expression through the arts.
Art director and graphic designer David Weik of Studio VIK was announced the winner of a $25,000 project benefiting Snow City Arts. The winners were announced on stage in front of over 200 influential guests of our party.
Artisan’s team members were overjoyed to witness such an amazing act of generosity and we thank our founder, Bejan Douraghy, for the outstanding contribution to not only the creative community, but the nonprofit community as well.
