Water Street Studios Fundraiser - Mothers' Day Sweet and Savory Art Drive Thru
Water Street Studios, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit community art center, is pleased to announces that more than 40 artists have rallied to support the art center in their first ever Mothers’ Day event and fundraiser. For this event, the artists wanted to offer a different take on the traditional “drive thru”. Instead of junk food, they wanted to offer fine art with each take out bag features a piece donated by a local artist. With such a variety of artists donating, it should be easy to find something that appeals to any mother’s taste!
The bag will also include home-baked treats and a coupon for coffee at Limestone Coffee and Tea. The first 8 buyers will receive a Water Street Studios t-shirt and a beautiful Mother’s day pin created by WSS resident artist Sharon Sychta. Randomly selected bags will include coupons for the following services: Prana Yoga Center 5-class pass, Maid Brigade cleaning service, WSS school of art gift certificate.
Walk-in previews and early-bird sales begin at noon on Sunday May 1st. All art purchased on the first day will cost $100 per drive thru bag. The cost per bag will go down throughout the week by $10 each day; cost per bag on Saturday May 7th will be $40. Savvy shoppers will shop early to get the art of their choice. The actual drive through will operate on Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
