Art for Habitat to Benefit Habitat for Humanity will take place the first Thursday in August and feature a unique exhibit of abstract paintings and fashion accessories inspired by the work of Habitat for Humanity.
The show will be held August 2, 2007, from 6-9pm, at the offices of Capital M Lending in the historic Haseltine Building, 133 SW 2nd Ave, Suite 410, in Portland Oregon. Twenty-five percent of all sales that evening will go to support Portland Habitat for Humanity. Dubbed “Art for Habitat,” the event will include more than two-dozen original, abstract paintings, custom-designed handbags, art cards and Giclée prints for sale by Portland abstract artist Tiffany Chantel. Chantel says this show’s art was largely inspired by her support of Habitat for Humanity’s mission.
“I see a kindred connection between my artistic process and the work of Habitat for Humanity, which is about creating better lives, dignity and hope. I want this fundraiser to emulate the transformational power of art and, at the same time, raise money for an organization that simply wants to build decent, affordable housing for families in need. If this event can do that, then it’s all worth it,” says Chantel.
A silent auction of “Zen Canyon,” a large original Chantel painting, will also take place that evening with 100% of the proceeds going directly to Habitat for Humanity.
Capital M Lending, a new mortgage brokerage in downtown Portland is hosting this fundraiser in their new offices as part of their grand opening festivities. "We believe everybody deserves quality, affordable homes. That’s why we’re so excited to be a part of this event and support the work of Habitat for Humanity. We are big fans!” says Capital M Lending owner, Michael Sullivan.
