Call for Art Donations

• We are seeking donated artwork for the HeART, Soul, Fiesta! silent auction to benefit Sew4Service.

• We invite fiber artists, photographers, painters, ceramicists, glass artists, and creators of all artistic media to contribute a piece for this special fundraiser. 

• Artwork does not need to come from a professional gallery artist. If you have a special talent and create pieces that others admire and would enjoy displaying in their homes, we would love to consider your work.

• Email a photo of the piece for consideration or to make arrangements for delivery.

  
  

Come celebrate with Heart. Experience the Soul of our Community. Enjoy the Fiesta!
