Quenched Water Thirst Fundraiser at Goss-Michael Foundation June 16th

On Saturday, June 16th The Goss-Michael Foundation will host the 2nd Annual Quenched Art Benefit to benefit Water-Thirst. The event will feature artistic masterworks from Christopher Martin, Geof Kern, Thom Jackson, Joshua King and Maxine Helfman. Aja Martin of the Nasher Sculpture Center curates the show which provides the artistic backdrop for the event.
 
Water-Thirst is a community of ordinary individuals who saw an extraordinary need. With over one billion people without access to clean water, any effort seems like merely a drop in the bucket. With today’s technology and a growing community of people who want to help, they are finding innovative ways to meet people’s needs. It’s the charity’s goal to work within a community to find the most beneficial solution that will serve the most people. The methods they use vary from digging wells and building water lines, to using rain catch and filtration systems.
 
Water-Thirst is proud to have been a part of the on going solution to the global water crisis over the last year. On June 16th, Dallas will once again put its beauty and creativity to work. Don't miss your opportunity to take home some amazing art and to benefit those who live without clean water.
 
Please join the event organizers, Honorary Chair Karla McKinley, and the event underwriters for an evening of drinks and hors d’oeuvres with some of the world’s most celebrated artists. Dallas Light and Sound will supply lighting, audio and video projection for the event.
