Joy Rises brings together art, community, and education to fuel the Casa BruMar Rise Up Scholarship 🎨🌈.&nbsp; Join us for an afternoon of original art and community impact.&nbsp; This gallery-style showing features an exclusive collection of work by Jay Hatton &mdash; a master of many arts whose creative range spans multiple mediums and styles.&nbsp; Many of the pieces in this collection began as protest posters, works born from a desire to capture the spirit of their moment and spark conversation.&nbsp; Every piece on display was created by Jay Hatton and will be available through a silent auction, with each artwork listing a minimum starting bid.&nbsp; Purchase a VIP Ticket to get a behind the scenes gallery tour, refreshments, and Q&amp;A with the artist before the event opens to the general public at 1PM. The highest bidder at 4:00 PM wins the piece.&nbsp; 100% of the proceeds from every sale go directly to the 2027 Casa BruMar Foundation Rise Up Scholarship Cohort.&nbsp; Your ticket and your bid help lift the next cohort of Rise Up scholars.&nbsp; Come browse, bid, grab a refreshment, and be part of something meaningful.&nbsp; &nbsp;A full preview of available works will be released by early July.&nbsp; Follow our <a fr-original-style="" href="https://linktr.ee/riseupbycbf" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">Casa BruMar Foundation Rise Up Scholarship&#39;s Link Tree</a> to be the first to see the collection and plan your bids.
