Art & Soul Showcase

Whenever I seem to disappear…you can usually bet we’re working on something pretty exciting at SUGARLUXE!

Not only are we weeks away from the soft launch of a new collection into one of the largest retailers of “better home goods” (and it’s still kinda secret or I would tell you more)…but we were absolutely determined to pull it off at the same time as a major art show.

Saturday, May 10th marked the 1st Annual Art & Soul Showcase featuring Sugarluxe Art to raise money and awareness for victims of child abuse. Central Market  hosted the event and we couldn’t have been more pleased to be brought into a venue recently named:  “the top gathering destination in the city”.

In fact, up to the very last minute, I was stressing over the completion of new large scale Artist Proof pieces (AP 1/15) and to make them available at this show FIRST. That means that a few are 1 of only 15 proofs on canvas.  PLUS - everything sold benefits the Austin Children’s Shelter.

The GREAT news is — you don’t have to be in Austin to get these pieces.  Even though they are on display in this big fabulous store in Central Texas, they can be purchased and shipped nationwide!

Here are some important reasons why we created this showcase:

  1. The Austin Children’s Shelter recently lost their much needed funding from the United Way.
  2. More than 50% of children under age five who are victims of homicide are killed by a parent.
  3. One out of every seven victims of sexual assault reported to law enforcement were under the age of six.

I have been an avid supporter of ACS and it is beyond my comprehension that anyone could ever hurt, abuse or neglect a child.  Actually, it hurts my stomach so much, that every time I was trying to get through the unbelievable amount of work I had on my plate…I stopped to remember why it’s so important to do what each of us can.

Whether you donate your time, talent, money or all of the above…every little bit helps when it comes to making a difference in the lives of vulnerable children.
