ARTS GARAGE to Host GIVE-A-THON for the Arts on Giving Tuesday, December 1

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. - EntSun -- (Delray Beach, FL – November 19, 2020) Marjorie Waldo, President & CEO of Arts Garage, today invited friends, supporters and fans of diverse art and culture programming to the nonprofit organization's first online telethon. The entertainment-packed event dubbed Give-a-Thon will be carried live on Facebook from 2 pm to 10 pm on Tuesday, December 1—also known as Giving Tuesday.

"Our goal is to encourage our patrons and the community to donate to our cause by really telling the story of Arts Garage and how we impact the community and local emerging artists," said Waldo. "The theme of our Give-a-Thon is Give Your Heart to Save the Arts."

The Facebook Give-A-Thon (Link: https://bit.ly/AGTELETHON) will feature a diverse array of live performances (music, poetry, comedy, theatre), live painting, and speakers, including Arts Garage staff, Guild members, and Board members including Chuck Halberg, Dick Lowenthal, and Ronnie Dunayer.
