The creation of OZ Arts’ fundraiser, “CigArt,” was inspired by over a decade of the Ozgener family doing hundreds of consumer events featuring their cigar brand, at the time, CAO. They noticed that the most outstanding events involved a combination of life’s more affordable luxuries and took note of the relaxed feeling of camaraderie and fun that participants experienced together. At their best — these events became a celebration and appreciation of “the finer things” or “the good life.” One of their friends suggested that we replicate and refine these events into one and add “Art” to the mix — and so, “CigArt” was born!
