Menka Spasovska Ilich, artist and owner of Galleria Monique, is bringing together local artists and businesses on Friday, November 5, for a worthy cause: Thanksgiving dinners for the less fortunate.
Ilich is working with Detroit-area Parks Memorial church, whose Rev. William Phillips will help sponsor the event through Zoe Ministry.
The main feature of the event will be a silent auction of art by Menka, or Monica as she’s known to friends. Her paintings will be on display with photography by Kristopher Ilich. Booths will be available for local artists to rent. Gourmet hors d’oeuvres will be prepared and served by Chef Kenneth Ilich and donated from local restaurants. There will also be arts and crafts as well as games for children.
This event will be held at the Walter E. Sundquist Farmington Pavilion, in George F. Riley Park, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. General admission is $5, seniors $3 and children five years old and under will be admitted free of charge. One hundred percent of the proceeds, which include admission and proceeds from sales, will go toward helping needy families have a warm Thanksgiving dinner.
