Art students from Young Audiences Charter School will paint collaborative pieces live with Brandan “BMIKE” Odums and other professional New Orleans artists this Saturday, Oct. 5, at Urban South Brewery. YALA Art Live, a fundraiser for Young Audiences of Louisiana, will feature live painting, artist popups, a DJ and food truck.
Urban South Brewery will host this event from 2 to 6 p.m. this Saturday, and they will donate a portion of every pint sold to the nonprofit. The art pieces created will be auctioned off at YALA’s 10th Annual Dancing For The Arts fundraising gala, scheduled for Friday, Nov. 1. Proceeds from both events will support YALA’s afterschool and early learning arts in education programs.
Student artists include Falynn Adams, Dontay Allen, Brenda Becerra-Navarrete, and Jamari Ross. The featured professional artists will be Kara Crowley, Brandan “BMIKE” Odums, Sheila Phipps, Roan Smith.
