Expressions Uncorked: Art, Wine, and Community under the stars

Hello Friend of the Arts,

The Juline Foundation for Children and Modesto Artists Movement are teaming up for the 2nd Annual Expressions Uncorked joint fundraiser!  

Join us on Saturday, October 4th to celebrate and support the arts with a party and plenty of entertainment at the beautiful Zinc House Farms.   

Together, we’re raising funds to support the arts in our community:  

Modesto Artists Movement provides free creative writing workshops, migrant art camps, music programs, poetry slams, MAM records, and plenty of low-cost events to get our community together.  

The Juline Foundation for children brings the joy of dance to children of all ages and provides opportunities for everyone to be involved.  

This magical evening is your chance to celebrate art while sustaining the organizations that make it thrive!
