Eat at Chipotle to support  Tornado Relief Support!

 Our hearts and thoughts go out to all of our friends and families who are affected by the tornado destruction in Moore and Shawnee.

You may have heard that the Norman Arts Council was planning to partner with Chipotle at 1641 24^th Avenue NW tomorrow (May 22, 2013) from 5:00pm – 9:00pm to raise funds for our Public Art Project Cre8Sk8. In light of the tornado recovery relief needed, we will now direct those funds raised to the Red Cross of Central Oklahoma.

Simply go to Chipotle and mention Norman Arts Council, Red Cross or Moore Tornado Relief and 50% of all sales will go on to benefit tornado relief through Red Cross.

AND, From Allied Arts…

 Eat at S&B’s Burger Joint for Arts Education now supports Tornado Relief Support!

As you might have heard, Allied Arts was planning to partner with S&B’s Burger Joint on 9th Street today to raise money for arts education.  In light of the tragedy that took place in Moore yesterday, we have decided to redirect those efforts.  S&B’s will now be donating a portion of their proceeds from ALL S&B’s Burger Joint locations from now until Sunday to the Red Cross of Central and Western Oklahoma.  We encourage you to join us at your closest S&B’s restaurant to support relief efforts.

Art is beautiful.

It becomes even more so in times like this, when artists are prepared to take that art and use it to benefit others in times of need.

Tragedy struck our neighbors in Moore on Monday, May 20, and it took only seconds for many to begin organizing benefit events and donating sales of their art to the victims devastated by that day’s events. We have collected what we have seen so far into this list below, though we expect it to grow in the coming days, as Oklahomans have so clearly shown in the past 24 hours that our love knows no bounds.

We will continue to update this listing as more details, events, benefits and so on are added. To add an event or promotion to this listing, email Joshua Boydston at joshb@normanarts.org.
