Spring Cleaning for the Arts
If the longer, warmer days have inspired you to do your Spring Cleaning, please set aside your new or gently used artwork for “Raising Monet for the Arts,” the annual fundraiser for North Tahoe Arts. This summer, North Tahoe Arts will accept donations of painting, photography, sculpture, ceramics, and other collectibles to be auctioned at its fifth annual sale and silent auction.
“If you’re ready to part with any artwork from your home, office, or studio, please set it aside now for this exciting event that helps North Tahoe Arts to fulfill its mission of supporting the arts throughout the North Tahoe and Truckee communities,” said NTA fundraising chair, Anne Chadwick. “Mark your calendars for the Raising Monet kick-off on Friday, September 4, 2009.”
Donations of all types of art will be accepted – framed or unframed, new or gently used, two or three-dimensional – this summer at the Art Center next to the Fire Station in Tahoe City (380 North Lake Boulevard). If necessary, arrangements can be made to have donations picked up. A tax receipt will be provided for each item received, and all proceeds will benefit North Tahoe Arts, which relies primarily on fundraisers and contributions to operate its art center and provide numerous programs and services to the community. Activities include monthly exhibits at the Art Center, Tahoe ARTour, ARTisan Shop, ART in Public Places, Tahoe Plein Air, and Kids ART Camp.
NTA is looking for volunteers to assist with planning “Raising Monet,” as well as storage space for donations this summer. To donate or volunteer, please contact the Art Center at 530-581-2787 or email info@northtahoearts.com.
