FREE - An Artful Affair - Fund Raiser

Free admission, refreshments and door prizes aren’t the only things you will enjoy at An Artful Affair – Art show and sale fund raiser.

Please join The Valley Arts Council, The Valley Chamber of Commerce, The Boys and Girls Club of the Lower Naugatuck Valley and Spector Furniture and Home Décor in this creative fund raising event to benefit The Valley Arts Council and The Boys and Girls Club of the Lower Naugatuck Valley.

An Artful Affair will take place on Friday, October 14th 9am-9pm, with an open to the public artists reception taking place 5pm-9pm. The location for this fund raiser is the Spector Furniture and Home Decor’s spacious showroom located at 385 Main Street, Ansonia, CT.

Artists from the Valley Arts Council will have their pieces on display. These items will be available for purchase with a generous percent of their sales being donated.

Several of the artists will have works in progress that you can enjoy seeing come to life. Frank McLaughlin, 50 year veteran of the comic book industry will be on hand to make caricatures and marker tattoos (for a nominal fee).

Several members of the Lower Naugatuck Valley Boys & Girls Club will also have their work on display. The public is urged to come examine the works and vote on their favorite. This is very important to the children who will have their hard work on display. The winners will be entered nationally.

For artists information please contact Steve DiRienzo of The Valley Arts Council at 203-516-0822. For event information please contact Robin 203-734-2525.

Donations in any amount will be gladly accepted. Please make checks to The Valley Arts Council and mail them to The Valley Arts Council, 37 Elizabeth Street, Derby, CT 06418 – Attention: An Artful Affair. Donations will be shared by both organizations.
