Strength by Numbers (2) & 10-Year Celebration
cre8ery gallery + studio has been in operation for 10 years offering opportunities to all artists.
In the past 10 years, we have had only one fundraiser and that money carried us for six wonderful years. cre8ery signed a new lease to carry us to 2020 with a substantial increase in rent starting in May 2017. We have asked artists, musicians, spoken word performers to donate time to help freeze our membership, studio and gallery rates. The response has been amazing!
Artists will be donating anywhere between 50-100% of the money raised at the event. The fundraiser will take place in the Main Gallery via silent auction bidding. Bids will begin at $50 and increase $5 or more per additional bid. The more funds raised, the more affordable options that cre8ery can continue to offer!
Come out to admire and enjoy the art offerings from amongst the cre8ery community. Mediums range from encaustic, paintings, drawings, photography, print-making, image-transfer, and digital art, to ceramics, glasswork, sculpture, fabric art, and jewelry!
Let us know if you would like to volunteer March 25th to April 13th, as we are still looking for assistance.
