We are excited to be selected once again by Ten Thousand Villages of Alexandria for a community shopping night. This Saturday, November 10, 2007, from 6-8pm they will be generously donating 20% of their sales to Empowered Women International!
It really couldn't be a better match. Ten Thousand Villages and EWI are both onto a great idea. Both organizations understand that the arts can be used for economic development, and that supporting artists and artisans from around the world in building small enterprises is important work. EWI works with a multicultural group of local emerging artists to help build sustainable livelihoods. Our artists bring with them cultural assets from all over the world and help make our community a more diverse and rich place. Similarly, Ten Thousand Villages works with a global network of artisans. They ensure that their artisans receive a fair wage for their goods on the global market and bring us unique gifts and handicrafts through their retail stores. Empowerment through the arts, isn't it a wonderful thing?
Come shop and learn more this Saturday. Ten Thousand Villages of Alexandria is located at 915 King St. in Alexandria, VA.
