Spring Show Purchase Award Opportunities

 

Artists are invited to present their art patrons and friends with the opportunity for a Purchase Award.  With $100 or more, the patron/friend is invited to an early viewing of the show at 4:00 pm on April 7, 2016  where they may apply the amount given towards the purchase of any piece of artwork.  With the purchase, the total amount goes to the artist – no commission to the WAA.  It is a win for both the artist and the patron, especially if you have a piece that you know someone wishes to purchase. 
For interested artists, contact Janet Sessoms @ jbsessoms47@ec.rr.com.
