The very first Aferro Benefit
June 20, 7-10 PM
Preview June 19, 6-8

Thank you buyers.  Thank you artists. Thank you volunteers.  Thank you sponsors.  Thank you everyone.

For one night only unique artworks by emerging and established artists are available for sale at prices that will enlarge or establish your collection. Delight a friend or colleague with the gift of artwork. Browse gift items, crafts and antiques, chat with artists and artisans in your community, and enjoy live entertainment, drinks and treats. Bask in the knowledge that you've supported arts and community, and had a great time doing it.

All proceeds will be used to cover the costs of finalizing our 501c3 status as a nonprofit organization and expanding the range of programs that we offer. A belief in locating and sharing resources was instrumental in our decision to create Gallery Aferro. This belief in the primacy of intellectual and physical resources continues to guide and inform the gallery's progress. We need to ask for your help to sustain our artist-run organization and truly fulfill the possibilities inherent in these ideas.
