Renton Arts - Call for artists, Arts Commissioner applicants

Call for Artists for a good cause with C'est la Vie at The Landing - Friday, November 19, 11 am - 6 pm

C'est la Vie is hosting a fun, paint your TOMS Shoes event.  Customers buy a pair of shoes and artists paint the shoes to create a unique pair of TOMS Shoes. For every pair of TOMS Shoes sold, TOMS gives away a pair of shoes somewhere in the world. It is a win-win.   

C'est la Vie has three spaces left for local artists to get creative for a good cause.  All artists will receive their own pair of TOMS shoes as well as food and drink during the event. If you are interested please contact Colleen Bowman immediately at colleen.bowman@clvcatalog.com or at 206.234.6199.
