This holiday season, Giant Food Mart in Wellsville and Cuba welcomes renowned artist Eric Jones for a festive event. On December 20th, shoppers can get live caricatures done by Eric, a chance to capture their holiday spirit in a fun way.
**Event Schedule:**
- 10 AM – 12 PM: Giant Food Mart, Cuba
- 1 PM – 3 PM: Giant Food Mart, Wellsville
In addition to the caricatures, Giant Food Mart will run a donation drive for “Sculpting for Smiles,” Eric’s nonprofit that aims to uplift children facing serious health challenges. From December 7th to 24th, shoppers can round up their purchases to contribute to this worthy cause.
Eric interacts directly with children and their families, learning about their interests, and then he turns those connections into unique sculptures. These artworks provide comfort and joy during tough times, making a real difference.
Known for his impressive artistry, Eric has won accolades like the Food Network’s “Halloween Wars” in 2020 and appeared on shows such as “Outrageous Pumpkins.” He recently partnered with Todd Graves, the CEO of Raising Cane’s, to create record-setting pumpkins in major cities.
This event is not just about art; it’s about community. By drawing together, everyone can contribute to a mission that spreads joy and smiles when they are needed most.
For more details, you can visit the websites of Eric Jones Studios or Sculpting for Smiles.
Also, note that if you appreciate Eric’s work, a special event with “Hearts for Isabella” is scheduled for February 8. Keep an eye out for more ways to support this inspiring cause!
