Information for artists donating artwork to the fundraiser:
The Patrons‘ Show is our largest fundraiser of the year, and each donated work is an essential part of the event. We could not do it without YOU and your generosity! The fundraiser will take place on Sunday, February 16. Artworks are on view in the gallery now! Click HERE to view images of the artworks.
We are in great need of framed or gallery-ready works. (We will still accept unframed pieces (very gratefully!!) from those who donate two or more framed works.)
Who can donate artwork?
We will gratefully accept donations from exhibiting artist members, Art League faculty, students, and TFAA members are eligible to donate to the fundraiser. The value of each artwork donation matches or exceeds (!) the cost of a ticket to the fundraiser ($245)
Is there a size limit to the artwork donations? Or a limit on the number of pieces an artist can donate?
No and no! The artwork just needs to fit through the door 🙂
When can artists donate artwork?
We are accepting donations at The Are League gallery, studio #21, during the following hours:
Mon-Sat, 10:00am-5:00pm and Sun, Noon-5:00pm. (Please note, sometimes the Art Center closes at 5:00pm for private events. Check the schedule here.)
Donation deadlines: Monday, February 10, 5:00pm, to be eligible for juried awards.
