Art Show and Taste of Red Bank to Benefit the Mental Health Association

Plans are underway for the Mental Health Association‘s (MHA) Sponsors Art Show and Taste of Red Bank fundraiser to be held at Garmany in Red Bank, on Thursday, October 27th.  Those with a passion for art or who are in support of the MHA’s vision of mental health and wellness will enjoy being  part of this event.

Starting at 5:00 PM, while taking time to preview the art, patrons will enjoy the sounds of the Andreach-Chrepta Jazz Duo while tasting and judging signature appetizers and drinks from participating restaurants and shops from Red Bank.  Representing Red Bank are Buona Sera, Cupcake Magician, Danny’s Grill and Wine Bar, Gaetano’s, Juanitos, The Melting Pot, Readies Fine Foods, Taste, and Via 45.

Starting at 7:30 PM sponsor ticket holders names will be randomly drawn to select in the order of which they are called, one of over 100 donated objet d’art, including framed original paintings, photographs, and sculptures.  Gift Certificates are also being offered so that a friend or family member may join you as a sponsor.  After all, a personally selected piece of fine art would make a wonderful gift for any occasion.

Paintings may be previewed prior to the Show, at Garmany and all the participating tasting restaurants and shops, and at Red Bank Art Galleries, Frame to Please, in the Galleria, and Laurel Tracey Gallery on White Street and Weston Gallery in Manasquan.  In addition, our Silver Sponsors Morgan Stanley Smith Barney will be displaying art in their Red Bank lobby.
