Bear Givers and SINAI Schools present Unique Inspirations

TEANECK, N.J. - June 4, 2015 - PRLog -- Bear Givers has partnered with SINAI Schools to present their third annual student art exhibit and sale, Unique Inspirations. The exhibit is a development of the EmpowerArt program created by Bear Givers, a New York-based organization that provides children in need with opportunities to feel the pride and joy of engaging in acts of kindness and generosity. The EmpowerArt Program gives children who have special needs, or are hospitalized, an opportunity to express their creativity and showcase their artwork in a professional gallery setting with art shows that benefit their schools, hospitals, and programs. The children’s experience is positive and empowering. It is exciting for them to see their work being shown and purchased, and this is furthered by the knowledge that they are raising funds for their organization.

The SINAI students’ artwork is the product of the unique Paley-Mironov Art Therapy Program created and supported by Steven and Laura Paley.  All of the young artists have special needs; most of them will be in attendance themselves, to proudly witness their colorful and unique art pieces being admired and purchased. More than 70 original pieces of artwork will be on display; 100% of the student artwork sale proceeds will benefit SINAI Schools’ Scholarship Fund. Cocktails and hors d’oeuvres will be served during this free event. Photo opportunities available.
