Find Your Scott Sella of Every Blooming Thing in Akron OH, along with photographer Michael Dunbar, are doing big things in their city to help with an even bigger cause.
On July 2nd, Every Blooming Thing will showcase a stunning series of photos by Michael Dunbar, taken on his recent trip to Peru.
“I was traveling to Peru in May and carried with me a heighten sensitivity of the difficult lives of many of the Peruvian people. While resting on a doorstep in the ancient Incan capital of Cuzco with my mother, a gentleman asked me for a donation to help children. He was so delighted with my contribution that he placed stickers on my jacket, shirt, backpack, and even mom! We all had an amazing journey through Peru and I kept one of the stickers. When I returned to Akron, Scott Sella of Every Blooming Thing asked me if I was interested in showing my photographs, I immediately decided to give all of the proceeds to the people that helped make our trip to Peru truly exceptional.”
Dunbar is donating all of the proceeds from sales of his photographs directly to REMAR-Peru, a division of the larger REMAR organization, which is a Spanish acronym for “Rehabilitation of Socially Rejected People.” Other businesses in the area are getting involved as well. The Market Path plans to sell handcrafted, fair-trade items from Peru and neighboring regions, while giving 10% back to the REMAR organization. Every Blooming Thing is also giving the 20% artist commission towards this worthy cause.
Sella, owner of Every Blooming Thing plans to keep the exhibit up until August. The opening reception will be on Saturday, July 2nd from 5:00-10:00 PM at the flower shop, 1079 West Exchange St. Akron, OH. View the Facebook Event here.
