Art, Authors and Belly Dancing: Trenton Books at Home Fundraiser

Tamara Ramos' Gallery on the Go, in coordination with Classics Used and Rare Books, is having a fund raiser for the Trenton Books at Home Program.

The program will include art installations centered around great works of literature. There will be a Harlem Renaissance station, a Shakespeare, a Hunger Games, a Dr. Seuss and a 1001 Arabian Nights. Each station will have multiple pieces of art from multiple artists and a performance component, provided by actors, spoken word performers and belly dancers.  Artists include Will Kasso, Leon Rainbow, Tamara Ramos and others.  Belly dancing performance by Esther DeCew.

In addition, we will line the streets with local authors, each of whom will be selling and reading from their books.  Authors include Tika Bernadette, Karen Boyce, Todd CC Evans, Thierry Lundy, Jon Naar and Tracey Syphax. 

The Books at Home Program provides FREE books for Trenton kids. Last year, with your help, we distributed almost $10,000 worth of books to kids in Trenton’s struggling school district. We hope to double that again this year. For more information about the program, visit http://www.classicsusedbooks.com/?page_id=13. 

There is no suggested dollar amount for the fundraiser.  If you can give, give what you feel comfortable giving. If you can’t, please still come and have a good time!   

Checks should be made out to "Children's Future" and have "Trenton Books at Home" in the memo line.  Children's Future is a 501c3 non-profit and these cash donations are tax deductable.
