Fine Arts Day Emcees Needed
I am also reaching out to some of our administrators to see if they would be willing.
Critical Need - Please Assist
We are only 15 schools days away from the Paulding County Fine Arts Day 2019!!!
We are working hard to increase our art auction donations. This auction is how we fund the scholarships!! Last year, we did NOT make budget on this auction. I was able to pull strings to still offer the scholarship this year but if we do not make budget for this year on the scholarship, we will not be able to offer scholarships for the school year coming up.
If you create art, like art, know someone who creates art, likes art, hangs art on your wall (real art - Kirkland's doesn't count), and enjoy supporting our cause - we need you! Please ask your friends who create to share their work with us for the professional art auction.
Please contact Dawn Sellers if you have any questions or anything you would like to donate.
