Varnish Fine Art : Holiday Party for Visual Aid .
Comment by AB: The highlight of this Holiday party and fundraiser for Visual Aid is Isabel Samaras' spirited walk-through tour of her ongoing exhibition, Making a Better Yesterday Today. Here's a few pics from that....
Visual Aid's mission is to encourage artists with life-threatening illnesses to continue their creative work. They do this by providing art supplies, grants, exhibition opportunities and community support.
