Norma Wellington to Present One-Woman Jewelry Show to Benefit Bergen Performing Arts Center, 12/5
Noted jewelry designer Norma Wellington, will present a one-woman jewelry show on Wednesday, December 5th, from 10 AM - 8:30 PM in the Drapkin Cabaret Room at the Bergen Performing Arts Center (bergenPAC), 30 North Van Brunt Street in Englewood, New Jersey.
Purchases will not only add additional beauty to your life but a generous percentage of the proceeds from the Holiday sale will help provide scholarships to children for drama at The Performing Arts School at bergenPAC, which is a program that is near and dear to Norma's heart.
"I am giving a portion of the proceeds of my show for scholarships in drama because my participation in the performing arts as a child gave me self-confidence," said Wellington. "I am so proud to help support a scholarship program that offers the same type of inspiring arts and education programs to the next generation. What's more, it's especially meaningful to me to hold my holiday jewelry show at bergenPAC, the area's premier performance center."
The sale occurs on the same day as the Brian Setzer Orchestra performance at bergenPAC -- a rock and roll dance party featuring holiday favorites Setzer-ized, as well as many hits from Brian's catalog over the years including his days with The Stray Cats.
Admission to the Holiday Jewelry Show is free of charge, and during the sale, there will also be an opportunity to participate in a free drawing to win a piece of jewelry from Norma Wellington's collection.
"We are delighted to carry on the tradition of Norma's holiday jewelry show at bergenPAC," said Dominic Roncace, new CEO of theBergen Performing Arts Center. "This show is a great way to support the arts in Bergen County, and enable young people to participate in our exciting arts education programs."
Norma's exclusive collection of one-of-a-kind and limited edition pieces will be on display during her December 5th show, in a variety of prices ranging from $50 - $3,000.
