Arts for Charity In addition to the October 2nd event, and for the duration of the festival - Galerie Brigitte will be donating 15 percent of all sales from the 1st Annual Vietnamese Fine Art Festival to support the local charities.

Please stop by and if you cannot find anything that suits you in the gallery, we will accept direct donations for the charity of your choice. "We wish to invite the community to participate and to support these important activities, to meet local artists whose work is on display at this exciting new venue, and to enjoy a sampling of international fare while helping out a cause of your choice." said Brigitte Le, owner of Galerie Brigitte. "All of us are feeling pinched in these economic times, but now, more than ever, we need to think of those hit hardest," said Alan Frank, General Counsel and Senior VP of Eden Center. "We hope this event helps raises awareness and makes a connection with the community to benefit these causes. Please join us and help those in need!" |
| About Eden Center
The Eden Center is Northern Virginia's premier Asian center containing approximately 120 stores and is located on Wilson Boulevard at Seven Corners in Fall Church, Virginia.
The Eden Center Clock Tower, an exact replica of downtown Saigon, was erected as a reminder of the home away from home for the thousands of immigrants who settled in the Washington DC metropolitan area after the end of the Vietnam War in 1975. Today, the younger generation also holds Eden Center dear, and frequent Eden Center each and every weekend. The large parking lot often fills up on the weekend and weekday afternoons. An elaborate Lion Arch was added as a gateway entrance off busy Wilson Boulevard to honor both Vietnamese and Chinese cultures that are reflected in both Eden's shops and its customers.
Today, the Center is the heart and soul of the Vietnamese-American Community for the entire East Coast. Eden Center continues to grow and extend its financial and community support into the surrounding Vietnamese and Asian community. Eden Center hosts an annual Tet festival and an annual Moon Festival.
