Our resident dancers from Ballare Carmel will perform, Simon Bull will paint, and then the dancers and Simon will interconnect; fusing dancing and painting. Don't miss this unique opportunity to collect Simon Bull's original artwork while supporting a great cause. Proceeds will provide scholarships for promising dancers and fellowships for emerging choreographers; helping foster the future of dance. After the performance, enjoy wine, charcuterie, and meeting the artists.
