The Foothill Arts Collective, will hold a “friends” wine and cheese mixer on Thurs. March 29, at the Women’s City Club (160 North Oakland Avenue Pasadena) from 5 PM to 7 PM. There is no charge for attending the mixer, although donations to support FAC will gladly be accepted.

The Foothill Arts Collective (FAC) is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization dedicated to providing a level of quality and excellence in performing and visual arts programing, which spotlights and engages underserved participants from the San Gabriel Valley and neighboring communities.

FAC strives to offer opportunities and venues for local artists to demonstrate and perform their unique and individual artistry to a community that embraces diversity of the arts. The Collective is especially dedicated to helping youth discover and develop their talents and gifts with confidence and self-assurance in an environment that is nurturing and safe.

The wine and cheese mixer is an opportunity for the community to become acquainted with FAC’s programs and upcoming events, such as the Kids Performing Arts Club which begins April 14th along with the 2012 Second Performing Arts Summer Camp which runs June 11th through August 6th for ages 5-15 years old.

The mixer celebrates a collaboration of local community partners who are vested in continuing local youth’s exposure to the performing and visual arts.
