Yesterday I got to meet Baraka, the Featured Artist At Alchemy this month. Below is some of her work as displayed at Alchemy and below is the press release explaining how part of the proceeds of any sale of Baraka’s work will go to the Gloucester Education Foundation.

Alchemy Tapas & Bistro is Gloucester’s newest culinary patron of the arts. Building on his original vision of Alchemy as a “community living room” and a gathering place for cultural creatives, owner Mark McDonough was proud to formally cut the ribbon of “The Alchemy of Art” Gallery by hosting and showcasing the work of local artist Baraka Robin Berger. The ribbon cutting ceremony and the gallery’s official opening occurred in mid November and showcases Baraka’s artwork through the months of November and December.
“We envision doing this in partnership with the community and in such a way where both the artists and local organizations benefit. We are pleased to say we will be contributing our consignment fee of 10% of all art sales directly to the Gloucester Education Foundation. At the end of 2011 Alchemy will host an annual silent auction and party at Alchemy on behalf of the Gloucester Education Foundation with all proceeds directly benefiting the foundation. But don’t wait until then before coming by Alchemy to purchase that perfect gift of art for the holiday season!
Good Morning Gloucester 
Love that Alchemy is tuned in to sharing with the GEF and being part of their funding success. Wonderful to see win/win situations like this where the artist perhaps attracts new customers, artist has opportunity to sell work, and GEF makes out as well. Thanks Mark for being this way and for sharing the love!
PEACE!
