Grand Opening Celebration! Saturday, May 7th!

Here on Highway 101, we love and respect the ocean and our natural world. At

Bliss 101 we strive to leave a positive impact on our local and global communities by

supporting artists, craftspeople, and fair-trade collectives while focusing on reclaimed,

recycled, and sustainable materials. We invite you to bring some Bliss into your life at

our grand opening celebration Saturday, May 7th from 5-10 pm.

Like all of our gatherings, Bliss 101 brings like-minded people together to celebrate art,

meet local artists, enjoy live music, and give back. For our grand opening, we have

decided that there is no better deserving recipient of the night’s proceeds than Shelter

Box, a non-profit dedicated to helping the people of Japan rebuild their lives after the

recent devastating earthquakes and tsunamis. You can help 3 ways: by purchasing any

of our eco-minded gifts (a percent of which will be donated to Shelter Box), bidding on

artworks and gift packs in the silent auction, or making a cash donation.

The evening will begin with a wine and cheese reception and live painting demo by one

of Bliss 101’s local artists. The Red Fox Tails will then take the stage to entertain you for

the rest of the evening. Come celebrate with Bliss 101!

Bliss 101 is a gallery and gift shop that supports local artists, handcrafters and non-

profits through fair trade, good times and giving back. Bliss 101 carries art by both

world-renowned and undiscovered artists, unique furniture made from recycled and

renewable resources, hand-made jewelry, books, music, clothing, kid’s treasures, home

decor, bath and body, and eco-friendly gifts. Bliss 101’s “art openings” are not run of

the mill – there’s the usual wine, cheese and live music, but at Bliss you will also be

able to create art yourself, get your kids’ face painted and give back while having a

good time. Each event highlights and benefits a specific group that positively impacts

the community- locally and globally. Together, you and Bliss will build schools for girls

in Afghanistan, plant trees in a depleted rainforest in South America and help local at-

risk youth turn their lives around through art. Follow us on Facebook or Twitter to find

out what’s happening this month. Bliss 101 is proud to be part of Pacific Station and

promises to be a good neighbor and friend in downtown Encinitas. We look forward to

seeing you soon! www.bliss101.com
