The days leading up to our Pixar tribute and benefit show were long. Walls had to go up, furniture had to be moved, display doors had to be touched up, food had to be prepared, and most importantly, art had to be mounted. But all this work was made easier, thanks to our incredible artists, volunteers, and partners.

Finally! For the Love of Pixar had arrived...and guess what? We had a BLAST!

Although we didn't raise a lot of financial support, we were able to raise a lot of awareness for charities like Give Clean Water, LiNK: Liberty in North Korea, and Invisible Children. With nearly 700 people dropping by to check out our event throughout the day, we have no doubt our artists were encouraged and the spirits of the people involved in these charities were lifted. To top it off, our guests donated lots of new toys for children in need.

Below are several photos from the event - including some from photographer Lisa Diaz. We especially want to thank her for documenting the details of the art show so well. Check out her Instagram profile here.
