October 17 the Orange County Arts and Disability (OCDE) held a gala to honor their primary supporters and honorees and fundraiser. Encore Programs has benefited from our relationship with OCDE over the years from a grant establishing our newsletter, participation in the annual Arts and Disabilities Festival sponsored by OCDE, and from the Artists on the Move program where previous Encore artists have had their artwork displayed in different galleries around Orange County. OCDE also allows us to fulfill two objectives related to our Arts Exposure project funded by the California Arts Council and other foundations by holding events Encore students can participate in.

For that reason and many others we were proud to donate an art piece from one of our participants, Hazeal, to OCDE's silent auction at the gala, which sold for $75.
