Evolve Pink has teamed with artist Charles David Viera to offer a number of original artworks created by Viera exclusively for Evolve Pink with proceeds going to the nonprofit.
The one-night “Dance of the Three Graces” exhibition and reception will be free and open to the public and will take place from 5:30 - 8 p.m. Saturday, May 20, at Evolve Pink, 124 Main St., Flemington, N.J. Enter via the rear entrance.
Evolve Pink was initially founded by Dr. Jennifer Montes as a support system for women who have survived or are battling cancer and has evolved as a support resource for all women. The Evolve Pink space at 124 Main St., Flemington, N.J., offers support groups, book clubs and a variety of programs and events where women can connect with other women in a positive and supportive environment.
“Too often, my patients are left wondering, ‘What about tomorrow?’ at the completion of their treatment. Evolve Pink is changing that,” said Montes. “We could not be more excited to collaborate with Charles and showcase his art. He has truly captured the spirit of Evolve Pink in his brush strokes and I hope that we can share that with the world.”
In offering his enthusiasm about this event Viera said, “This exhibition will showcase a series of original pastel drawings and paintings I created based on the mythological characters ‘The Three Graces.’ I thought that ‘The Three Graces’ were the perfect subject for Evolve Pink as ‘The Three Graces’ in Greek and Roman mythology served as the handmaidens to Venus and represented every positive trait historically associated with women, such as elegance, beauty, charm and fertility.
“Teaming with Evolve Pink has enabled me to use my art as a way to affect peoples lives in an affirmative way and the Evolve Pink mission has always been the same. With this ‘Dance of the Three Graces’ exhibition I attempt to project the joys of being a woman. I hope the public will respond and take home one or more of these framed works on the 20th.”
The public can view the artworks at charlesdavidviera.com and at evolvepink.org and they will be available for purchase on the night of the event and later for a limited time at evolvepink.org.
