Students in an Integrated Marketing Campaigns class in the Elliott School of Communication at Wichita State University are putting their education into practice by helping plan and promote a benefit for an after school arts program.
The second annual Art A La Carte, scheduled for 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7, in the Guild Hall of St. James Episcopal Church, 3750 E. Douglas, will feature jazz, wine and an art party.
"We are especially pleased to be able to feature Soulstice, one of Wichita's finest performing ensembles, at this year's party," said Theresa Johnson, president of the St. James After School Program Board. "Also, I'd like to thank students from Wichita State's Elliott School of Communication for helping us plan and promote this special event. I hope people will come out and join us for this exciting benefit."
In addition to Soulstice, a jazz ensemble from Friends University, there will be art pieces donated by local artists, and collectors will be available at the auction. Wine, champagne and appetizers will be served.
Tickets are $50, $35 of which is tax-deductible. Tickets are available at the church office and are being sold by WSU students. Reservations may be made by calling (316) 207-9109 or be an e-mail to StJamesASP@gmail.com and to WSU student Ashley Rosenbaum at baum1987@yahoo.com.
The St. James After School Program provides arts enrichment classes to fourth- and fifth-grade students from low income households at no cost to their families. The program works with Arts Partners, Roots & Shoots and Communities in Schools to provide services to children.
