Winnetka : Political Artists Group to Hold Benefit Party
- Share via
A newly formed nonprofit organization, Artists Against Oppression, will hold its first benefit, a wine-and-cheese party Sunday at the Winnetka home of one of its founders.
Member Jeanne Collachia, a filmmaker, said part of the proceeds will go to provide financial assistance to Thai nationals who were held in slave-like conditions in the recent El Monte sweatshop case.
The group also hopes to feed hungry schoolchildren and provide money for a scholarship / grant program for artists working on projects that denounce oppression, she said.
Sunday’s event begins at 2 p.m. at 20236 Leadwell St. in Winnetka.
A $10 donation is requested.
For more information, call Collachia at (818) 998-1983 or Henry Ong at (213) 665-7612.
