Arts are always hardest hit during economic downturns. Funding, charitable donations and in the case of museums, attendance, slow to a grinding halt. The SoCal Mobile Food Vendors Association has a terrific relationship with the California Heritage Museum. We make a sizable donation every week to use their parking lot for the Santa Monica Main St Lot (@smfoodtrucklot).
But we need to do more to save the museum that brought us last summer’s EPIC skateboard exhibit. Like most museums, they’ve seen their funding dry up considerably. On April 30th the Cal Heritage Museum is having an awards dinner fundraiser. There are still tickets available and they are always excepting donations. Exclusively for this event, artist Frank Romero has created and donated a limited edition, signed and numbered, giclée print. Check out the invitation: http://web.mac.com/calmuseum/Site/2011a.html
Thank you to the SoCalMFVA members that are making gift certificate donations for the silent auction.
Hope to see you there
Matt Geller
