🎨🚨 ARTISTS, MAKERS, CREATIVE CHAOS GREMLINS 🚨🎨

We’re looking for donated artwork for the Art Fest LIVE AUCTION at the James! And we mean ALL kinds of art:
🪴 Yard art
🖼️ Wall art
🏺 Pottery
🧵 Fabric art
🔨 Metal art
🎨 Paintings
🪚 Woodworking
✨ Weird little creations you made at 1 AM and somehow turned out amazing

Art Fest celebrates creativity in ALL its forms, and the live auction is always one of the most entertaining parts of the day.

Proceeds support the James Memorial Art Center and our mission to:


Interested in donating a piece? Send us a message or email [email protected]! Let’s make this year’s auction wildly fun and wonderfully full of art 🎪🎨🫶
