The Silent Auction Funddraiser for 501 c 3 non profit Catalyst for Youth will be held at the Black Bean Ceramic Art Center on the evening of August 3rd. Since Catalyst for Youth is an eleven year old all volunteer organization that benefits teens and young adults, all proceeds go the youth - without exception.

Bid on ceramics, paintings, photographs, mix media from 6pm to 8:30. Winner will be announced after 8:30 but you don't need to be there to have a winning bid.

Catalyst for Youth runs art programs in Juvenile Hall and proceeds will benefit those incarcerated youth. It will also benefit Burnett Middle School students who take computer illustration. These students have been using a primitive tool to create the bezier curves of a computer illustration and it is the intention of Catalyst for Youth to raise enough funds to purchase a 35 site license use of Illustrator.

Become a patron of young artists by donating an art piece to be auctioned off and/or purchasing a donated piece of art on August 3rd. All donations are tax deductable.

Can make it to the event, consider making a monetary donation. Checks made out to Catalyst for Youth and sent to 1724 Alberta Ave. San Jose CA 95125. Your donation is tax deductible as well.
