A Benefit for Aid to Artisans (ATA) Small Grants Program
After its successful debut in January 2007, the World Style Auction will return this Summer!
The “spirit” of World Style has always supported world-wide community development; and we see this auction as yet another way to maintain and promote our global and social responsibility. By supporting Aid-to-Artisans and their Small Grants Program we help support the preservation and sustainable development of artisans in need.
