Call for Entries: Art for Alix Reese
Deadline: Saturday, September 18th

The OSU Urban Arts Space proudly
presents Art for Alix Reese, a 6-day benefit to support a valuable

her from the shoulders down.

benefit with artwork, raffles and live performances to raise funds for
the victim's medical bills and life-long care. Artwork donated by local
artists will be available for purchase through a silent art auction.
Guests can also purchase raffle tickets for the chance to win several
prizes, generously donated by Columbus area businesses. Proceeds from
the sale of artwork and raffle tickets will go directly to Alix's
