Knock on wood and hold your breath, Piedmont Arts’ annual fundraiser, Savory September, is returning. On Friday, Sept. 13 at 6:30 p.m., join Piedmont Arts and their team of local chefs for, “Fortune + Flavor: Friday the 13!” This superstitious fundraiser features themed small-bites, craft cocktails, games and raffles, live music, and tarot readings. Attire for this event is all black or all white. All-inclusive tickets are $50 and are available on PiedmontArts.org or by calling the museum.
In addition to the food and entertainment, this event will feature a 50/37/13 raffle. Tickets are $20 per ticket, or you can buy a book of 5 for $100. On the evening of the event, two winners will be selected. One will win 37% of the money earned, the other 13%. The remaining 50% will go to Piedmont Arts to support their amazing arts education and programming in Martinsville and Henry County. Tickets are available at Piedmont Arts and on PiedmontArts.org.
Piedmont Arts’ Programs Coordinator Lauren Ellis will be providing tarot readings. She has been reading cards for ten years and has learned from some of the premiere tarot writers and teachers in the country. For $5, you can get a one-card draw that will give you an overview of a question, or for $20 you can get a 3-card past/present/future spread.
Live music will be provided by Jake Earles, a feature at Piedmont Arts events. A singer and songwriter from Axton, he spent 20 years living in Nashville, Tn. — playing everywhere from honky tonks to the Grand Ole Opry — and has toured the country with acts like Tim McGraw. Earles brings a mix of country, Americana, folk and soul to the stage.
