The Children's Home's FACES 2015 Set for Oct. 29 at Baltimore Museum of Industry

CATONSVILLE, Md. –The Children’s Home will present FACES 2015, its signature fundraiser, Thursday, Oct. 29, from 6 to 9 p.m., at the Baltimore Museum of Industry (1415 Key Highway, Baltimore, Md. 21230).

Chaired by Jacqueline Lampell (project director, Baltimore Symphony Orchestra Centennial), this chic and savory evening catered by Simply Elegant kicks off at 5:30 with a VIP reception featuring a signature cocktail, gourmet hors d’oeuvres and more!

With “Creating Endless Possibilities” as the theme, the cocktail-style celebration continues throughout the museum’s unique vignettes with dinner and dessert stations complimented by wine and beer. Adding to the fun will be live music from The Groove Spot, strolling magic by Bill Gross, a photo booth and decorating pumpkins for the at-risk children and youth living at The Children’s Home.

The event’s highlight is the live and silent auctions featuring a variety of special items, along with one-of-kind, original artwork created by The Children’s Home residents, who respond positively to art as an innovative approach to rebuilding their lives.

As part of a special mentorship with T. Mark Selby of M. Selby Designs, LLC and Towson University School of Fine Arts, FACES showcases the residents’ courage for positive change, along with their innate artistic talent. Some of their creations include paintings on canvas, dishware and photography.

“The residents of The Children’s Home are so creative and fun to work with. Both the boys and girls have explored with many different mediums for their first time, and their creations are amazing,” Selby said.

“I could not have asked for a better group of young artists to work with this summer. The children are so creative, and open to exploring arts.”

Event proceeds will help The Children’s Home sustain quality programs and services for at-risk children, youth and their families. Tickets are $85/person in advance and $100/person at the door for the main event and $125/person for VIP. Sponsorships are also available.
