This month, The Arc of Anchorage will host the fourth-annual “ArtFull Plate” benefit dinner, a fundraiser for the organization’s art department and resident artisans. The event will be from 5 to 7 p.m. on Thursday Sept. 27, 2007 in the gymnasium at The Arc of Anchorage, 2211 Arca Drive.
“One of the most rewarding parts of my job is showing the public that the art we do here at The Arc is quality, professional work,” said Wendy Poss, The Arc of Anchorage’s art and cultural specialist. “It’s so much more than the old-fashioned macaroni and popsicle stick projects.”
This year’s ArtFull Plate will be a barbecue dinner, complete with a pulled pork sandwich made from Poss’ secret recipe. Guests will be served dinner and their ticket price will include an artisan-made pottery plate of their choosing to take home.
Artists will be on hand to chat with guests and examples of their work will be on display throughout the venue—including stained glass, pottery, beading, oil and acrylic painting pencil drawing.
In its 12th year, the art department offers people with disabilities various art classes throughout the year and works more than 70 artisans.
