The Curry Arts booth at the 2023 Holiday Bazaar generated nearly $500 in sales!  All proceeds from this sale of hand painted holiday ornaments, donated art, cards, and art-related books go towards supporting art in the local community.

A huge thanks to all who participated in this fun event!

 

Calling all Curry Arts artists to help turn these ordinary holiday ornaments into something Extraordinary!

In addition to donated artwork, Curry Arts will be selling these hand painted ornaments at the annual Holiday Bazaar being held November 17 and 18 at the Event Center in Gold Beach.

Painted ornaments need to be returned to the gallery by November 16.

All proceeds go towards funding the arts in Curry County.

Blank ornaments can be picked up at Blue Raincoat Gallery at 29282 Ellensburg Ave, Gold Beach,  Wednesday through Saturday from 11 p.m. to 5 p.m.

The Curry Arts board took action at their September 28 annual meeting, to donate $1,500 to the Gold Beach arts and music programs.

These funds were raised through a combination of donations, membership dues, and fundraising efforts.

This raises the total donated by Curry Arts to these important local programs to nearly $32,000 in the past several years.

The instructional donations are made to a “290 Fund” that is managed by the classroom teachers and used to purchase art and music supplies. The donations cannot be used to replace school funding that is diverted for other purposes.

This year, part of the contribution to the arts program will be used to purchase supplies for students to participate in the “Tiny Art Show” being sponsored at the Curry Public Library.

It is because of the generosity of our members that we are able to continue these important contributions.

Thanks to all who participate!
