Shine A Light on Human Trafficking
Fourteen artists contribute original and
upcycled lamps to a benefit auction for Give Way to Freedom, a Vermont- and New York-based foundation that works with victims of human trafficking. The event includes a silent auction, a chance to meet some of the artists, and live music by DJ Craig Mitchell. The lamps themselves are impressive works of art, ranging from hand-painted shades to unique likes of Simon Pearce and Ethan BondWatts. The event model was developed by Shine A Light, a business launched this year by Bristol artist Stephanie Larsen and Melissa Deas, a coordinator of the Addison County Council Against 6, 7 to 10 p.m., in the Blue Room at Red Square in Burlington. $25 at the door, $45 for two; appetizer and drink included.
