Natural Wonders

Grab Bags

Hello ARTISTS!


Due to popular demand the Mini Works of Art Grab Bag is back!! If you are not familiar with the Grab Bags, it is a fun fundraiser for The Placer Artists Tour. Once again we will be selling the Grab Bags at Taste of the Tour Reception. The event is on October 24th at Blue Line Arts. I will pack up all the grab bag items a week or so before that so Deadline to get them to me is October 15th (Give or take.) The approximate value should be at least $20 per item.


I will wrap the items in tissue paper. (Do you have any fun tissue to donate?) I will use a variety of little gift bags if you have any of these to donate.


Any mini-art is wonderful for the Grab-Bag Fundraiser! What we don't sell at this event we will take to our next event, until they are all sold! Don't forget to include your business card and/or a business card from any gallery you are associated with! 


You can drop your donations to the Artist Potluck on September 9th at Sierra Presbyterian Church in Loomis. You can also leave them for me at High Hand Gallery, Placer Artists Tour Office at 100 El Dorado, Suite 2 in Auburn. Be sure you label it to me and let me know if you do this so I can pick them up. You can also bring it to my house in Rocklin, or I can pick it up someplace. Let me know what works!
