Hello Beautiful
You are invited to join us for an evening filled with art, dance, live music, and community in honor and memory of a dear friend, and in celebration of the joy that art brings to our lives.
The Hello Beautiful Charity Movement Arts Showcase will be held at the Spinning Jenny in Greer, SC on Saturday, January 8th 2022. Doors open at 5PM. Tickets are on sale now through the venue. $15 ahead, $20 day of show, kids 10 and under free.
What to Expect
We can't wait to join together in friendship and art! This event is dedicated to the memory of Allison Ratterree, a very special member of our community who passed away in 2020 following a fight with cancer. Allison was a brilliant light who loved art and dance, and saw beauty all around her. In that spirit, all are welcome at this super fun, family friendly, art-filled, charity show!
Doors will open at 5, and you can come right in to enjoy the live music of SONEM. The bar will be open, so grab something to drink and then browse the silent auction, featuring items donated from Allison's family and our performers, to support community classes and a scholarship for dancers in need at the niad studio.
Around 6, we will have our first performance set featuring student to professional performers from the upstate arts community.
Don't forget to bring your dancing shoes, as we will have a long intermission with more live music for hafla style open dance, and plenty of time to get a drink, dance a little, participate in our art energy exchange (make art, leave it for someone else, and take one of the pieces someone has left for you!). You are welcome to commune with friends, check that silent auction out along with our guest visual artists who will be demonstrating their crafts and have items for sale, or just be present. Then, we have a second performance set for you, followed by the announcement of the silent auction winners. Finally, at the end of the night, we will all walk outside to enjoy a fire dance show by Satarah, Jaidra of niad, and special guest dancers!
Make sure to pick up your silent auction winnings before leaving the venue.
We promise, it will be a night to remember!!!
All proceeds from admission ticket sales will be donated to a local charity, Safe Harbor.
