“Attendees also witnessed a one-of-a kind performance from world-renowned artist Michael Israel, sponsored Kelly’s Kidz and the Hermann Family. Israel, who has performed at presidential galas, the Olympics and with entertainers such as Bruce Springsteen and Garth Brooks, provided the main entertainment for the evening. During his ‘Art in Concert’ program, he created five original pieces of art on spinning, six-foot-canvasses that were auctioned off later that evening.
Israel also visited the Center for Exceptional Families the day prior to the event, for an impromptu painting session with the children. He said he was impressed by the facility.” (http://www.oakwood.org/News/OakwoodsRedTieBallsurpassesfundraisinggoalagain)
