e.f. hebner, seen
The OSU Urban Arts Space proudly presents Art for Alix Reese, a 6-day benefit to support a valuable member of the Columbus community. While driving on May 27, 2010, Alexandria Reese was struck in the neck by crossfire on the east side of Columbus. The bullet severely damaged her spinal cord, paralyzing her from the shoulders down. Despite her injuries, the 25-year-old remains positive and strong.

Embracing Alix's love of art, the OSU Urban Arts Space is hosting a benefit with artwork, raffles and live performances to raise funds for the victim's medical bills and life-long care.
Proceeds from the sale of artwork and raffle tickets will go directly to Alix's family.

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.
Visit our webpage to learn more about the benefit' silent auction and closing reception.
