Girls’ Night Out
250 women gathered at the Factory in Franklin for our second annual Girls' Night Out on October 27th, 2022. With 40 local vendors present there was plenty of shopping and fellowship to be had! Our guest speaker, Anne Neilson, shared with us her heart behind her paintings and newest book, Entertaining Angels, and left us all yearning for more. In total, we raised over $10k, increased our monthly donors, and raised awareness for our mission - all in all - a wonderful night!
Anne Neilson - Girls' Night Out Guest Speaker
A lifelong artist, Anne Neilson began painting with oils in 2003 and quickly became nationally known for her ethereal Angel Series, which are inspiring reflections of her faith. Neilson has published several books, including three coffee table books, Angels In Our Midst, Strokes of Compassion, and Angels: The Collector’s Edition. Her latest books, published through Thomas Nelson, include Anne Neilson’s Angels: Devotions and Art to Encourage, Refresh and Inspire, Entertaining Angels: True Stories and Art Inspired by Divine Encounters [release date September 20, 2022] and The Brushstrokes of Life: Discovering How God Brings Beauty and Purpose to Your Story [release date April 2023].
Because of the high demand for her original oils, Anne Neilson Home launched in 2013, which is a collection of luxury home products complementing the Angel Series and providing one-of-a-kind beauty and quality. In 2014, Neilson opened Anne Neilson Fine Art [ANFA], a gallery located in Charlotte, NC, representing over 60 artists throughout the country. ANFA showcases masterpieces from the finest artists and shines a light on charitable organizations by donating a portion of art proceeds each month.
With a passion to make a difference in the world, Neilson continues to paint, write, and share her journey through speaking engagements. She is also a wife of 29 years to Clark and a mother of four adult children.
