Honesdale – On Saturday Yanni Glykokokalos, president of the Wayne County Arts Alliance, received a donation from the Himalayan Institute – presented in connection with a unique 10-day art exhibition that concluded this weekend at Himalayan Institute Main Street.
With Jeff George, a board member of the WCAA looking on, the exhibition’s organizer, Marge Watkins, presented a check for $250 to Mr. Glykokokalos. The sum represents the proceeds of a silent auction for a pearl and hematite necklace, which was held during the art show, and bid on successfully by Beatrice Rodriquez.
Ms. Watkins announced that the Himalayan Institute also would present a matching donation of $250 to the Wayne County Arts Alliance. Proceeds from all sales during the Sacred Link™ Art Exhibition go to support the global, humanitarian projects of the Institute, including an Adopt-a-School Project in Northern India, the adoption of orphans and victimized children in violence ridden Kashmir, and the support of indigenous artists in developing countries.
