Milwaukee art patrons raising funds to benefit neighbors in need
Public can donate to help families and individuals in need and take home original artworks
Artists, collectors and art patrons Tony and Patricia Busalacchi invite the public to attend Art from the Heart, taking place at the Cultural Arts Center located inside Saint John’s on the Lake, 1840 N. Prospect Avenue, on Friday, October 18 from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and on Saturday, October 19 from noon to 6:00 p.m. More than 100 original artworks created by Tony Busalacchi and others will be made available to the public in exchange for a donation to Capuchin Community Services (CCS).
Funds raised through Art from the Heart will support the mission of Capuchin Community Services. The Capuchins attend to the spiritual and basic needs of people experiencing homelessness, poverty and hunger through their two sites: St. Ben’s Community Meal and the House of Peace. In 2023, Capuchin Community Services provided nearly 37,000 meals at St. Ben’s and provided food assistance for 18,600 community members at the House of Peace, including more than 2,500 Thanksgiving and Christmas food boxes.
In 2018 and 2021, Tony and Pat held similar art fundraisers benefiting CCS, raising approximately $200,000 for CCS to provide meals, food pantry items, clothing and much more for people experiencing homelessness and poverty.
