1st Annual Event will benefit Cornerstone Care Centers Inc, recovery programs.

A newly form group of artists, the Coastside Creative Collective, will be presenting the first annual Giving Tree Art Show and Sale on Friday evening, December 2 through Sunday, December 4 at the New Leaf Community Classroom, 150 San Mateo Rd, Half Moon Bay.

The show and sale will feature a variety of quality art work by the Coastside Creative Collective. The collective is comprised of local creatives, artists, painters, musicians, writers, and photographers who meet weekly at the New Leaf Community Classroom for the purpose of offering creative support, motivation, and inspiration to fellow creatives.

The artists will donate 20% of sales to Cornerstone Care Centers Inc., www.cornerstonecarecenters.org
a Half Moon Bay nonprofit that provides sober living homes and housing assistance grants to recovering alcoholics and addicts. New Leaf will match a portion of donations from Friday night’s sales.

The vision of the Coastside Creative Collective is to be a venue where creatives of all types come together for artistic discussion and creative workshops. Each member is given the opportunity to teach, host and serve in this group. Their goal is to ignite a creative spark and inspire artists to pick up their paintbrush, take the picture, write the song, and share it with us. Sounds simple, but often difficult to do alone. Art is meant to be seen and shared with the world and the collective offers a way to make that happen. In the future, the collective plans to present additional community art shows, and invite outside artists and musicians to come and share their experiences and insights and offer creative inspiration.

The Coastside Creative Collective meets every Friday from 6 pm – 8 pm in the Half Moon Bay New Leaf Community Classroom, a perfect setting for the local community to come together as it is located at the center of Half Moon Bay and provides a community setting for personal health, education and growth. There is no charge to participate. To learn more visit their website.
