You are invited to the second annual Inverted Arts Scholarship Dinner and Auction. Our goal is to raise $15,000 which will fund five new scholarships in addition to the five current recipients pictured above. This means ten total scholarships: six in the Mathare Valley, Kenya, two in Santo Domingo, D.R. and two from Hope Academy in Minneapolis, MN. The evening will include a delicious meal, a silent auction, and a short program by students, Artist Mentors, and special guests.
