Good Friends, Great Art!

Aljira celebrated its 25th anniversary and the 10th anniversary of the Aljira Emerge professional development program at The Aljira Fine Art Auction 2009 on May 14. We are grateful for the good friends who celebrated with us, the great art that was donated for the cause and our wonderfully generous sponsors: Prudential Financial, PNC Bank, The Fidelco Group, Edison Parking, David Ellis Catering, Janlyn PR, Major Printing, MCJ Foundation, Newark Trade, NJ Transit, City National Bank and a host of individuals. Proceeds from the Auction enable us to provide vital career development and exhibition opportunities for emerging and under-recognized artists; strengthen our ability to provide transformative experiences for Newark-area teens; and help us to position Newark as a significant cultural destination.
