This fundraiser features artists’ work that can only be 12″ x 12″ or smaller and the bidding starts at twenty-five dollars. It was a really fun event where Andrea and Rob had the opportunity to meet the buyers of their two pieces. With many regional artists participating, including Gregory Kondos and Wayne Thiebaud, this is a chance to acquire something special for your home or office.
