C3's second ART Happening and Fundraiser at the Haymarket Cafe on Friday night was a massive success, raising over $4,000! Hundreds of people crammed their way into the cafe to take in the incredible visual art, join the audience at a raucous reading by some of the area's best up and coming and established spoken word artists, eat delicious food, partake in a glass of wine or two and dance their tails off into the wee hours.
