Upcoming Events
Mom’s Laugh Project – A Unique Art Event
When: April 16, 2010
Atlanta, Georgia
Tori Tinsley is an artist striving to protect her mother’s memories, personality and stories from the effects of FTD. The Mom’s Laugh Project will debut in Henley Studios in Atlanta, Georgia April, 16th with an exhibit and sale of artwork depicting Tori’s mother’s life and passions. If the date on the artwork arrives and the painting is not sold, the artwork will be destroyed – just like the destruction FTD has on individuals and their families. Patrons have a chance to preserve a painting and the memory it represents with 20% of the proceeds of each sale going to AFTD’s research initiatives. See a flyer for the opening event and visit www.ToriTinsley.com for more information.
