TRUNKS ART will be participating in The Vita Art Center's ANONYMOUS GALA this Friday in Ventura!

Ventura, CA — November 29, 2011 — Dozens of well-known and emerging local artists will donate their creative efforts for a fundraiser for the Vita Art Center, a West Ventura teaching facility which offers local youth a safe and nurturing environment during their least structured and therefore highest-risk times: after school, on weekends, and during the summer months.

Called the "Anonymous" exhibition, the event features 12-inch-by-12-inch canvasses. The paintings are exhibited anonymously with the artists signing the back of their paintings.

"Visitors collect art without knowing who the artist is until after they've purchased the piece," said Vita Art Center Founder Mary Perez. "The fun is for visitors to collect work they like and maybe pick out a favorite artist's work or collect a new artist."

The Friday, Dec. 2 event begins with a 5-6 p.m. "First Dibs" gala, for those who want the first chance to look over and purchase the exhibited works. Wine and delicious appetizers will be served. After 6 p.m., the event is free and open to the public.

This is the third year of the annual "Anonymous" exhibition. "It's our biggest fundraiser of the year," Perez said. "Last year we sponsored hundreds of youths in our art programs, totaling more than $14,000 in scholarships to families with financial need."

All Vita Art Center classes are taught by local artists. "Not only do we help youth, we create jobs for local artists," Perez added.

The Vita Art Center, located at 432 Ventura Ave. Studio 30, in the Bell Arts Factory, offers consistent, quality art education and mentoring which impacts social development, academic achievement, and vocational opportunities for youth and teens. Studies show that when youth have substantial engagements with the arts they are more likely to go to college, get good grades, obtain a degree and to hold a full-time job. The facility is an educational not for-profit organization under the sponsorship of Bell Arts Factory, a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization. Contributions to the Vita Art Center are fully tax-deductible to the extent provided by law.

For more information, contact Mary Perez at (805) 644-9214, MaryPerez@sbcglobal.net or visit www.VitaArtCenter.com

Be among the first to preview and purchase art. Over 75 pieces of art to choose from. All artwork is priced to sell at $100.

TRUNKS ART, M.D.S. Surfboards, Surfrider Foundation - What's the connection?

Newbury Park, CA — November 19, 2011 — Pictured above are 3 retired surfboards that will soon be converted into works of art! They were generously donated to me by life long surfer, Matt Sparks, state of the art custom surfboard shaper, manufacturer and owner of M.D.S. Surfboards.

Before I can put art on any of these boards, a decent amount of time and effort is dedicated to the refurbishing and clean-up process. Yes, it's messy and time consuming but at the end - the boards are not only ready for art, they're surfable!

To see my "finished product," head on over to the Photon Gallery (866-963-1199), located at 522 East Santa Clara Street (one block East of California Street) in downtown Ventura. Portions of all sales are donated to the Surfrider Foundation, a highly regarded non-profit organization that protects our ocean, waves and beaches since 1984.
