FIVE Squared Opening Reception

I am delighted to say that the FIVE Squared Opening Reception was a huge success!  Eighty-one pieces sold... 12 youth and 69 adult.  With some sales of 2014 pieces, plus poster sales, and raffle tickets, more than $2100 was raised in just a few hours.  The show runs through March 8th, with more sales sure to come. 

The silent auction, featuring wonderful paintings by Nancy Hawkins, Chris Leeper, and Gary Taneri, will continue until 6pm on Sunday, February 15th... still plenty of time to get your bid in.

Thank you to everyone who donated, purchased, volunteered, or helped in any regard.  Because of your generosity, our new outreach team will be able to offer art classes to children who would otherwise have no means to access quality instructors and supplies.
