Do It: The Art of Giving Recap

In case you missed it, last Thursday, May 26, the Art of Giving had its annual event at The Stand Gastro Bistro in Birmingham. Each year they benefit a different charity. This year it happened to be your's truly, DGG. It was truly an unforgettable and memorable night.

The event featured an amazing silent auction with items from Tigers and Red Wings tickets, to a vacation in Florida. There were also beautiful pieces of jewelry Darakjian Jewelers. Almost everything was sold, and all of the proceeds went to us. There were pieces from our designers-in-residence, as well as the paper dresses designed by Matt Richmond you may have seen on Fox 2 and channel 7.

A big hit was the Paint by Number, which was a painting of David Bowie. You could by a ticket and then you got to paint whichever square you wanted to. The painting turned out amazing, thanks to everyone that participated. There were also shirts available with the painting on it.

It was a great night with tons of laughter, smiles and amazing people. We just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to everyone that came out and supported us! We greatly appreciate every donation, that goes to help our programming stay alive to help Detroit's fashion community.
