Scope Gallery and the Kiln Club are raffling off a handmade raku vase, and all Patrons’ Show ticketholders can receive one free ticket by coming to the gallery. See Scope Gallery for details.

Remember:

• Bring your ticket (you need it to check out with your artwork and it notes your seating area)
• The drawing starts promptly at 4:00 pm. We recommend arriving around 3:00 pm. This is when the chairs will begin to be distributed.
• Please be respectful of the limited space and be kind to your neighbors. After all, it is Valentine’s Day!
