25th Anniversary Brunch: Transformation Touchstones
About Transformation Touchstones
AWBW’s Anniversary Brunch on September 25, 2016 at Hotel Casa Del Mar in Santa Monica brought advocates, supporters and artists, and funders together to celebrate the 25 years of creativity and healing that has occurred in human service agencies across the country through our transformative arts programs.
As part of our silent auction we featured two-inch glass Transformation Touchstones created by artists who spark inspiration amongst those they reach. This community art initiative serves as an interactive catalyst for courage, strength and the possibility of change. By creating and sharing their Transformation Touchstones, the artists inspire and support others’ journeys — both those who see the art and the guest that took the Touchstone home.
