ART Conference 2013 Makes A Donation to Dwell With Dignity
Donation to benefit Dwell’s Food + Art + Design (FAD) Education program
March 28, 2013 – Charlotte, NC – ART Conference 2013, produced by the home accents industry association ART, will be held May 7 – 10, 2013 at the Palms Hotel and Spa in Miami, FL. In its 21st program year, the conference is structured to include business, motivational, home trend and design presenters along with interactive workshops. Registration for the conference is open to anyone in the home accents industry.
In August 2012, ART announced its industry partnership with Dwell with Dignity. This year’s conference opens with a dinner address to the attendees from Founder, Lisa Robeson and colleague, Kim Turner. As part of the partnership, ART Conference will donate $5000 to Dwell with Dignity in lieu of the charity project typically associated with the annual meeting.
Founder, Lisa Robeson commented, “We are thrilled to be able to address the conference’s opening night dinner! The generous donation from ART is earmarked for our FAD (Food + Art + Design) education program for the families we serve. With this donation, professional chefs, artists and designers will educate our residents, volunteers and donors alike. This innovative program will be developed to encourage fellowship and education amongst us all while highlighting practical ways to incorporate design into our lives. We are grateful for supporters like those we have met through ART. Not only to we appreciate the support of ART, we thank the many of you who have reached out to us individually to help us inspire lives with design. Unlike any other organization, it is ART members that truly understand, from their hearts, just how much the gift of design can mean in our lives.”
