Come view and purchase from hundreds of pieces of original artwork done by local artists!  There is an Early Bird sale before ArtsAlive! from 5:00 - 6:00; there is a $10 entry fee for being able to have the first pick of the artwork … some artists have their work just flying off the shelves, so it’s worth coming to the Early Bird sale to get the art that you want.  ArtsAlive starts at 6:00 and goes until 9:00, and the sale continues (Tuesday - Saturday from 11 am till 4 pm)  until the 13th … see you there!

Calling all Volunteers! The Holiday Gift Fair and Artists’ Challenge is approaching quickly and more volunteers are still needed to perform tasks such as cashiering, sitting at vendor’s tables for a few minutes to give breaks, sitting at the food and kids’ activity table, greeting people at the door and giving them a program, and various other jobs … for the Artist’s Challenge we need people to paint and hang shelves, hang the artwork, cashier, and repaint the gallery afterward. If any of these jobs appeal to you, or if you know someone who would be interested in helping out, call Jules at 442-8413 or email at jules@inkpeople.org.
