Own A Creative Canvas Crafted by Local Artists

If you would like to own one of these beautiful pieces of original art, now is the time to purchase a $30 certificate and bring it to the recycled art auction, "Art Out of the Closet," on Sunday, January 29, from 1:00 to 3:30 pm at the new Green Technology Training and Enterprise Center in Plain.

2012 Creative Canvases

The 8x8-inch canvases have been created by nearly 60 area artists especially for the Arts Coalition’s fund-raising event that supports local arts and cultural programs in the River Valley. Names of artists are printed on the back of each certificate. During the auction, names of those holding certificates will be dropped into a hat and drawn. As your name is called, you will choose the Creative Canvas of your choice.

You can see a sampling of the canvases and buy certificates at these places: Arcadia Books and Kitchen, Convivio, the General Store, and Nina’s in Spring Green, and Ann Marie’s Garden Café in Plain and The Shoppe at Herbs Spices and More in Arena.

Also, if you would like to donate pieces of gently used art for the auction, you have until January 23 to drop off your art donation to the General Store.
