Artpoint will display all artworks in the Main Gallery from July 3 to July 25, 2014. Please join us for an opening reception on Thursday, July 3 from 5-9pm.

 

How it works:  Individuals/participants/artists would donate a 5”by 7” art work, collage, painting, 3d relief, etc. no sculptural pieces, signed on the back so purchaser would not know whose work they are buying. All canvases would be the same size 5”by 7” and all would be priced at $99.00 each. Artworks by children should indicate their age if under thirteen on the back of the painting.

Cost of art materials, canvases, paint, etc., cost to deliver, return work at end of fundraiser is the responsibility of the participants.
