Get Local: Milk, Cookies, and Some Very Cool Artwork

One of the things I love about living in Southern California is the abundance of unique, local-centric activities.  This weekend, SoCal based retailer Active Ride Shop has partnered with TOMS Shoes to showcase the creativity of several local child artists, including pieces from students at Anneliese Schools in Orange County.  The show will also feature collaboration pieces created by 9 World Renowned Artists and their children.

Milk & Cookies will debut on Saturday, March 12th from 1-5 pm at Irvine Spectrum Center.  All of the artwork on display was created by children and will be available for purchase, with proceeds benefiting Seeds Art and Education, Inc. and the JLA Project.  Musical guests Summer Watson and the Hindu Pirates will perform and refreshments of milk and cookies, of course, will be served.

During the event, TOMS will launch their Kids for Kids collection through a Style Your Sole and you will have the opportunity to design your very own pair of TOMS. For every pair of shoes purchased, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need.

TOMS will also be launching their Kids for Kids collection at the event, through a Style Your Sole, where people will be able to design their own pair of TOMS. As always, with every pair purchased, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need.

The Gallery space will be open March 4th, 2011 to March 6th, 2011 from 5pm-8pm and the event will take place on March 12th, 2011 from 1pm – 5pm at the Irvine Spectrum Center.

Be sure to follow me on Facebook and Twitter because I’ve *heard* a very special guest from TOMS will be present on Saturday.  I’ll also share with you a special preview time before the doors open to the public on March 12th so stay tuned!

No compensation was received for this post. I was invited to a media preview of the event.
