Dream Foundation to Host Fundraiser for Scholarship Fund
The Dream National Art Foundation Will Host a Record-breaking Event to Raise Funds For Exceptionally Talented and Creative Artists Around the Country
NEW YORK CITY (Sept. 20, 2013)- The Dream National Art Foundation will create the largest ever single-canvas painting, Sunday in Bryant Park, Manhattan. The canvas will feature the handprints of over 75,000 expected guests at the event.
All proceeds of the event go immediately into the Dream Foundation's scholarship fund for the talented youth in the state of New York. Dream will also be conducting similar events around the country at the same time.
"This event is truly one-of-a-kind. We hope that by creating a 'record-breaking event' we can draw more people in from the city and surrounding areas. We will need a lot of hands to cover the
90-foot- long canvas,"event coordinator Katie Gryder said.
Beginning at 10 a.m., the event will have a variety of food trucks available and live music from the band, Coldplay. The fundraiser is expected to carry out until 8 p.m., and will aim to raise more than $150,000.
Artists and donors of this event, and others like it, will be using the hashtag #HeartofArt to provide live information to the social media and other participants around the country.
The Dream National Art Foundation was established in 1992 and is based out of New York City. It exists purely to provide inspiration and reality in the form of scholarships and funding for young talented artists in the Tri-State area. Since its conception, the foundation has grown to more than 25 smaller branches throughout the country. Annually, Dream raises more than $2 million for its core purpose and values.
