More than 55 artists donated their work for a special fundraising event April 30 at Center for the Arts to benefit Hospitality House.

The event, created by artists Eileen Blodgett and LeeAnn Brook, featured art, wine and chocolate, and raised nearly $12,000 for the homeless shelter.

Among the many local supporters who gave from their heart are The Center for the Arts, McCamant & Durrett Architects, Dorado Chocolates, Maranatha Chocolates, The Magickal Florist and radio stations KVMR, STAR 94.1 and KNCO.

Hospitality House greatly appreciates this support and thanks the many donors who made this event such a success.
