The Connective Corridor is pleased to help promote The Everson Members’ Council’s fifth annual 60/60, a special fundraising event to be held on Friday, June 20, 2014 under tents on the Everson Community Plaza.  Come join Everson supporters for a wonderful evening in the lovely setting  surrounding the reflecting pools from 5:30 – 7:00 p.m. Admission is $30 per person. Reservations are recommended and can be made online at

www.everson.org.  

The Council invites the public to join in the festivities by strolling the Plaza, enjoying complimentary hors d’oevres as well as a cash bar, listening to live music performed by ValDaniel Martins & Kyle Dolbear, and chatting with the artists as they work. Guests may purchase raffle tickets to place in a pail next to each artist for a chance to win their favorite pieces. At the end of 60 minutes, each artwork is raffled off to a lucky winner. The artworks are generously donated by the participating artists and all proceeds benefit the Everson Museum.
