Arts of Point Richmond (AOPR) is hosting a “Garden Party” Sunday, Sept. 15 from 3-6 p.m. at the Point Richmond Gallery to celebrate its newly minted status as a 501c3, to mingle and to get inspired.
As a volunteer organization, AOPR is encouraging the community to bring their own beer and appetizers to share at the event. A short presentation will occur during the Garden Party at 4 p.m.
“We are a volunteer organization and input and energy from our members is what keeps us going,” said the organization.
AOPR’s new designation as a 501c3 gives it status as a charitable organization and enables it to receive tax-deductible contributions, according to the IRS.
