ChathamArts presents BRAvo! Lingerie Soiree for the Arts June 27, 2010

Following the courthouse fire, the ChathamArts Gallery artists sought some immediate uplift. Since then, their imaginations have encountered no limits. Marcelle Harwell Pachnowski, Lyn Sims, Florence Johnson, Stan Pomeranz, and John Makowski say that they couldn't stop laughing when they began brainstorming fresh ways to make Chatham the "most colorful cultural destination in the South." They have a series of top secret efforts up their sleeves, but the first one they're unveiling is the "ChathamArts BRAvo! Lingerie Soiree."

Area artists and other local agencies and businesses have been working tirelessly to help "support the arts with support bras during this sagging economy." They've knitted, welded, carved, and crafted a variety of "bra-art sculptures," which will be raffled at the "BRAvo! Soiree" from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday, June 27, at The City Tap. There will be live music, food and beverage, as well as foxy guest celebrity male bra models there to flaunt the merchandise.
A BRAvo! preview is on exhibit throughout May and June at the ChathamArts Gallery, located at 115 Hillsboro St., Pittsboro, NC 27312.

It's not too late to submit a bra of your own to the cause. Call 919-542-4144 or email info@chathamarts.org for details.
