The Rose Marine Theater is hosting Brazilian Carnival on March 29 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $35. Read below for more details, and we hope you can make it to this important event!!!
Artes de la Rosa is hosting Carnival on March 29 at 7:30 p.m. at the Rose Marine Theater. This event will celebrate the rich traditions of Brazilian Carnival by presenting Samba Dallas Dance Company, the Samba musical group Wave, and decorations including Carnival masks crafted by children from our award-winning after-school drama program. The event also will include a silent auction, menu selections from Blue Mesa restaurant. Attendees also are encouraged to show their Carnival spirit and creativity by wearing their own mask and competing in the "Best Mask" contest. Individual tickets, which are $35, and corporate sponsorships are for purchase by calling 817-624-8333.
Carnival, which is co-chaired by Artes de la Rosa board members Tina Olson and Veronica Villegas, was created to help Artes de la Rosa meet a $25,000 fundraising challenge goal set by the Amon G. Carter Foundation. The deadline for the challenge, which is being matched 100 percent, is May 2008.
"This is an important event for our organization," said Cathy Hernandez, Executive Director. "It is part of an organizational strategy proposed to us by the Kennedy Center to increase our individual giving. The Kennedy Center has noted that nationally, many of culturally-specific organizations are not funded widely enough by individual donors. We - in partnership with the Amon Carter Foundation - are working to reverse this for our organization. This is a step toward accomplishing this goal, and the Carter Foundation's match is a huge incentive for people to come and support this event."
Patrons who are not able to attend the event but would still like to contribute to the Carter Foundation fundraising challenge are encouraged to send a donation to Artes de la Rosa at 1440 N. Main St., Fort Worth, TX 76164.
"Artes de la Rosa is dedicated to preserving, promoting, and interpreting the art, culture, lives, and history of the Latino community."
