He goes on, "The Terrell's passion for both art and business achievement makes them the ideal champions for the 2018 Brunch." Marianne & Kenny could not be more excited, "We are truly honored to help bring attention to this remarkable, empowering program. Art Launch is training artists on how to market, display artwork with confidence and ultimately be financially self-sufficient – and that's a mission that we endorse whole-heartedly."
