Eight artists will be unleashing their creative talents for a good cause when Whole Foods Market hosts a "TOMS Style Your Sole" event from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dec. 3.
The artists—Jamie Allen, Solomon Enos, Ryan Higa, Byron Inouye, Christopher Lum, Jon J. Murakami, Cade Roster, and Masako Schwalbenitz—will be creating custom-designed TOMS canvas shoes that can be purchased for $49.99.
As customary at TOMS, the company will donate a pair of shoes to a child in need for each pair sold as part of its "One for One" campaign.
TOMS Shoes launched in 2006 with the mission to match every pair of shoes purchased with a pair of new shoes for a child in a developing country. As of September, more than one million pairs of shoes have been provided to youth in need around the world. Individuals are also welcome to host Style Your Sole events.

Also on Saturday, Whole Foods Market will also be showcasing artwork from local keiki participating in the Honolulu Academy of Arts' Art to Go program throughout the store. Art to Go allows qualified art instructors to bring supplies and lessons in various media and techniques to sites such as elementary schools to help make art accessible to underserved youth. The program was a recent beneficiary of Whole Foods Market's "Recycle Your Change" fundraiser this year.
