ARTISTS COMING TOGETHER

SUCCESS & SUPPORT

THANK YOU <3 span="" thank="" you="">

Thanks to everyone who made our Art Auction and Fundraiser an enormous success! 

Together, we raised over $8000!!! 

100% of the revenue generated by this auction and fundraiser go towards Heather dawn Kemp’d daughters cancer treatments.

If you would still like to support Heather Dawn Kemp’s cause you can do so on her “I Believe You Care-“ Gofundme page here:

Thanks to everyone coming out shows the strength of our collective community.  Thanks to everyone for sharing on social media and coming to the party. 

Artists helping artists. For that you deserve many thanks, a big warm hug and a wheelbarrow full of gratitude. 

Somehow, a group of people with an idea and big hearts were able to pull this off in just 10 days. It proves that when we come together with a united vision we are an unstoppable force!

Atelier Artista was pleased to donate the space for this event. The atelier took two days to set up and collect the artwork, one fun night to throw an Art party and two more days following to get it back. Bunny got in a very good workout going up and down the ladder hanging and taking down artwork for a few days. Thats good because thats about all the exercise inside the studio he gets.

Now that we know what it takes to run an event like this. We have seen what a success it can be……Atelier Artista hopes to host a “spring cleaning” like this for artists to be able to clear out their inventory and support a charitable cause annually. If this is a good idea and you’d like to be involved next year, let us know.

It took a lot more work than we could have anticipated, we must thank our army of volunteers:

Thank you Luella Gilchrist for inspiring and heading up this event.
