SAVE THE DATE
Saturday, November 14th - introducing a brand new fundraiser from the Elk County Council on the Arts.
Join us for an upscale art experience and sales exhibition featuring over 100 pieces of artwork for $100 each.
Proceeds from this event will support general operations and ongoing programming. ECCOTA is in the midst of losing funding and staff due to the end of state partnership programming. While we navigate what’s new and upcoming and seek new funding opportunities, this fundraiser will help bridge some funding gaps.
The event will be held at the Strand Event Center, 253 Main Street in Ridgway.
Reservations will be available on September 1st.
DONATE ARTWORK
Local artists and community members are welcome to donate artwork to this fundraiser.
Artwork dimensions may be no more than approximately 10” x 10” (2D), not including framing or mounting, which should not exceed a final dimension of 14” x 14” (framed 2D, and 3D).
