What do you get when you put two angels of the arts together in the same room? You get Art Dash!<\/p>\n

Art Dash was the brainchild of Niki Sands who has been an advocate for the arts for decades now in Las Vegas. She enrolled Nancy Good, another strong arts advocate to help her in her mission for a grand cause. That cause being Forgotten Song Foundation. It was a night designed to raise funds for the foundation whose entire mission is dedicated to recognizing, remembering, and sustaining the visual artists and performance artistry of live music for future generations. That is an ambitious statement but FSF has been working hard for the last four years to keep their mission alive and they have succeeded in giving out $25,000 in scholarships and grants to UNLV, CSN and like-minded organizations that support the arts.<\/p>\n

The night was filled with music, art, wine, food and fun and, of course, lots of raffles! The idea behind Art Dash was to purchase a single raffle ticket for entrance to the event and once there you would have a chance at winning a valuable raffle gift that evening. There were nine artists on display for the event and they had a Pop-Up show at the gallery during the week of the show that closed the following day after the event. The artists who generously offered their talent and gifts were the following, Lynne Adamson, Michelle Almassy, Jerry Blank, Maria Bran, Nancy Good, Lisa Herr, Alex Huerta, Kelley Nelson, and Niki Sands.<\/p>\n

It was a magical night and everyone who attended had a wonderful time. Core Contemporary was a very gracious host and Nancy and Paul did a fabulous job entertaining us that evening with music that touched the hearts and soul of the guests.<\/p>\n
