About this Event

Begin your weekend with a casual afternoon surrounded by beautiful artwork, sipping delicious Corner 103 wines or TÖST, a flavorful alcohol-free bubbly alternative. Listen to wondrous words inspired by the artwork that surrounds you. The artwork at the Hope Lives: Art for ALS exhibition is particularly motivated because it is created by people with ALS.
Red and white wines are on the tasting list, while dark chocolate and cheese will add to your tasting experience. Tost, alternative beverages will also be served. Everyone is welcome.
Participating Poets: June Halebsky, Amanda Moore, Dean Rader, Sarah Rosenthal, Kim Shuck and Rebekah Wolman.

Hope Lives: Art for ALS was launched by Melissa Stephens in 2020 as a way to honor her sister, Lynn Giovannelli, who bravely battled ALS from July 2020 to November 2023. ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is a neurodegenerative disease that breaks down the communication between a person’s brain and muscles. It steals one’s ability to walk, talk, eat and breathe.
Due to the debilitating symptoms of ALS, participating artists deliver their creative expressions using unexpected techniques. Discover Sandra Murphy-Pak's "inner universe" - paintings that she completes using only her right foot. Embrace color and form in Ken Brenner's artistic collaborations and be amazed by technology assisted artists, Brandy Trigona and Scott Craig, who draw and paint with apps that utilize their mouth and eyes.
