The Not For Profit Boutique
Showcasing Local Artists Expands Store
& Moves To New Location In The
OC Mart Mix
Costa Mesa, CA -- Apples & Oranges (A&O), a
not-for-profit store front showcasing local artists, has moved and expanded its
boutique in The OC Mart Mix. To celebrate, A&O will host a grand
re-opening on August 25, from 5pm-9pm. Featuring
live music, treats by For Cake Sake, guests will also have a chance to meet and
greet local artists (3313 Hyland Ave., Costa Mesa).
The goal of Apples & Oranges,
which opened its first retail location at The OC Mart Mix in November 2011, is
to give local artists a place to display and sell their work and in turn they
give back 10% to the charity of their choice. Apples & Oranges is run by a
team of volunteers and interns who are passionate about pouring into the
artistic community in Orange county. “Creating a place that gives back and
props up in as many venues as possible, A&O is not about making a monetary
profit but making a profitable influence in the lives of our artist and the
community,” says Cindy Avilla, A&O’s proprietor.
With everything from handcrafted jewelry, soap, and pillows to
paintings, clothing and more, the artists featured in Apples & Oranges,

In each fruit
there are seeds. When just one small seed takes root, with proper light, water,
and nurturing, it can become something so rich and beautiful; a tree ready to
bear fruit and harvest its full potential. It just takes a little seed, some love
and nurturing and an opportunity to grow; to bring something so life giving
that it can’t be compared to anything else; it is like apples and oranges.
