“My House,” an acrylic painting by VSA artist Cheryle Coburn, was used on the cover of invitations to “Straight from the Heart.”
An evening of song and dance that will include ensemble and solo performances will benefit the VSA Day Arts Program at the North Fourth Art Center.
Billed as “Straight from the Heart,” the event will include hip-hop and Afro-indigenous dance to original poetry with favorite songs such as Gangnam style “Any Way You Want It.”
All proceeds will benefit the education programs of VSA New Mexico, a long-standing nonprofit arts program for adults with disabilities. The program provides a means of self-expression in an inclusive arts environment.
