2nd Annual: LAST TO LEAVE, FIRST TO ARRIVE
Charity Art Show at the University of Miami
WEDNESDAY | FEBRUARY 27, 2018 | 4-8PM
University of Miami students, alumni, local artists and diehard Miami Hurricane fans are bringing the U family together AGAIN for a great cause.
GreekWeek at the U is excited to announce the 2nd annual student ran "Last To Leave, First To Arrive" Sebastian The Ibis themed Charity Art Show.
Last year we brought over 30+ artists, students and alumni together to raise funds for hurricane relief in Puerto Rico, this year “It’s On Us” to stop sexual assault.
Last To Leave, First To Arrive will be held at the University Center Lakeside Patio on Wednesday, February 27, 2018 from 4:00-8:00 PM.
This family friendly free event is a unique gathering of students, alumni, artists and performers donating their interpretation of “Sebastian the Ibis” to a great cause.
100% of all art sales will go to the following causes:
• Miami’s local child victims at Kristi House
• “It’s On Us” UM campus and national efforts to stop sexual assault
The U from the streets to the academic
This event is free and will not only feature work from local artists like Atomik who is famous for his Orange Bowl inspired character that is plastered across the streets of Miami, but will:
• Feature LIVE painting by Surge who painted last year's famous "Catholics vs. Confidence" mural.
