The Affordable Art sale has been successful with a number of paintings sold in the first few days of opening. If you have a piece that sells you may replace it with another piece priced $125 or less and without adding any docent shift responsibilities. CAL’s share of the proceeds will be donated to the Salvation Army Angel Tree program.
The handmade Christmas ornaments have been selling as well with the entire proceeds going to support our annual Student Awards Show for High School Seniors in Montgomery County to pursue their artistic interests beyond high school. On display in December as well is the monthly member’s show. Be sure to check it out!
