First Saturdays Art Stroll this weekend

The First Saturdays Art Stroll starts this Saturday, April 5, from 7 to 11 pm at CocoWalk.

There will be refreshments and a chance to see a lot of the Grove's new galleries.

There will also be a special staged reading of the play "Parked" by Miami native Vanessa Garcia. The successful play is on its way to Amsterdam but first, the staged reading will be at Tsori d'arte Gallery on the second level of CocoWalk at 8 pm.

The performance is a special benefit performance to raise funds for the actors travel expenses in their stay in Amsterdam representing the United States as international art ambassadors. There is no entrance fee, but donations would be gratefully accepted.

The New Light Foundation, Inc. is the result of a dream shared by artists, Wendy White, and her husband, Roland Ruocco, who relocated to Lauderdale by the Sea, Florida in July of 2001 from New York City. Their Art Center serves both as their art studio and as the Headquarters of the New Light Foundation, Inc. - a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide cultural outreach through the arts and education through community outreach.
