It was a full house at the Women's Center on Friday as the nonprofit kicked off its annual "ThroughJane Tyndall curated the art show. Women's Eyes, By Women's Hands" art exhibition and sale with a cocktail reception. Proceeds from the event will benefit the resource center that serves more than 5,000 Triangle area women and girls each year through financial and career counseling, homebuyer education and legal information services.

Attendees and sponsors strolled through the exhibition, mingling and chatting with many of the artists. They enjoyed a variety of small dishes provided by local female chefs and also had the chance to participate in a silent auction and raffle drawing.
