illi News/10041666

SCHAUMBURG, Ill. - illiNews -- At The Backyard Experience, we believe in the joy of a child using their imagination and being creative as they receive the much needed care from our wonderful healthcare institutions in the Chicagoland area. Therefore, we have launched the Acme Creativity Cart program featuring the Looney Tunes™ and created Red Dot Chicago to help fund it.

Friday, December 13, 2019 at 6:30pm, we debut a unique charity art experience where original works of art created specifically for Red Dot Chicago will be displayed.  Artwork is donated from artists all over the country for this silent auction bidding event. The works remain anonymous until the bidding is closed. Guests use the silent auction method for bidding using a Red Dot for the "buy it now" amounts listed, unless current bidding exceeds the Red Dot amount. Featured artwork includes Oscar® winning director Chuck Jones, Legendary Director/Animator Eric Goldberg, & more. Artists participating and appearing in studio for the event include Tim Rogerson, Trevor Carlton, ARCY, Daniel Killen, Kenneth Corozza, Ben Olson & more.

"Red Dot Chicago is our effort to give guests a unique experience as they help us fund this very important effort for children."
