On the 12th Day, before year-end,
We celebrate our friend, Matt Belge, who came to us in October with the desire to share his light projection and flower photo art with the populations we serve at the Accessible Gardens & Arboretum.
This evening, Saturday, 12/20, is the final event of 6 total he offered. The guests were truly amazed at both the power of the projection onto the pine trees, as well as the high-resolution and 3-D quality of the flower photography.
Thank You Matt for sharing your artistic gifts here, during our Holiday Stroll events! Matt also is the brainchild for the Artist-in-Residence Program. He would like to continue building on the light display for future exhibits here, and bring more artistic friends to exhibit here, at the Accessible Gardens & Arboretum!
Matt’s costs were approximately $10,000.
Our end-of-year goal is $25,000. Please Donate Today with MightyCause
