This year’s featured artist is Rashawn Penister.
Cutwell 4 Kids (C4K) is hosting its ninth annual art sale/fundraiser, The Birth of an Artist, at Whittington Place, 301 Whittington Ave, in Hot Springs. The event will take place on Saturday, January 27, 2024, from 5-7 PM. Light appetizers will be served.
“In addition to the exciting artwork from our community of emerging artists, we will also feature musical talent in the areas of jazz and R&B,” stated C4K founder, Anthony Tidwell.
Cutwell 4 Kids was founded in 2014 by Tidwell to encourage children to develop an understanding of themselves and the world around them, to nurture their confidence and self-expression – while developing art skills.
Free art classes are offered through the C4K Birth of an Artist Summer program, exploring concepts, ideas, social and cultural issues – even opinions – while engaged in art activities.
“Cutwell 4 Kids is essential in our community for providing a safe space to explore and develop critical thinking skills,” said Tidwell. “At the end of each Summer program, we host the Birth of an Artist Art Sale & Fundraiser to showcase and sell artwork created by C4K artists and to raise much-needed funds for next year’s program.”If you would like to partner with C4K in funding next year’s program, please visit https://cutwell4kids.org/donations-support/ to make an online donation, or send a check to Cutwell 4 Kids, 247 Silver Street, Hot Springs, AR 71901.
