In Summary: A Night Out for the Arts, 2014

Hello Hands on Art docents and supporters,

This could be a very long post.  All of you who attended last Friday's fundraiser will already know 'A Night Out for the Arts' was an amazing event.  If you didn't get to attend I have included some photos below, but first there is a whole team of amazing people that need to be thanked...

Fields of Lavender

For our November workshop Jake Tedesco is back with Fields of Lavender.  Inspired by the Impressionist movement docents learned about color and perspective to create a landscape painting.

Brunch was beautifully presented on Thursday by Washington and Friday by the Birney docents and so good that most of it went before I could take any photos.

We had two vendors for this workshop.  Thursday was Lisa Doyle of Origami Owl and Friday was Yavanna Baird of Artistree Jewels.  Both vendors offer items perfect for holiday gifts.

We had a sneak-peak at some wonderful donated artwork that will be available at the fundraiser on November 14.  Tickets for this event will be available until this Tuesday November 11, so if you still need tickets go and get them online HERE!

Have fun with your fields of lavender - we are looking forward to seeing them around the school campuses and showing up in our Facebook feed.

Below is a look at Friday's workshop in pictures...
