Help support art in the public schools
— from David Turnoy —
Please come visit A*OK’s table at Fidelis Flea Market (Cupid’s Closet) on Saturday, February 13, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., West Sound Community Center.
A*OK, Art for Orcas Kids, is a committee of the Orcas Island Education Foundation now,
A*OK provides talented local artists to classrooms in the elementary and the middle school to inspire students and help them bring the visual arts to life through age-appropriate projects. The work of the students and artists culminates in a fantastic art show in May. This opportunity to work with real artists and create works of their own work of art is transformative in the life of a child
The ORCAS SENIOR CENTER will also be peddling their wares. Think Granny’s Attic.
Other venerable vendors include The FIDELIS CIRCLE women’s group (organizers of this fund raiser), STITCH & GOSSIP (Orcas landing area women’s group), ARTISTS offering their creations, and 13 other individuals with tables full of anything and everything, prices as varied as the merchandise…..
