Currahee Artists' Guild Meet the Artist Show and Miniature Fundraiser

Currahee Artists’ Guild 2009
More Artists, More Art!

With more than 50 members, the Currahee Artists’ Guild enters 2009 with a schedule of exciting shows. To launch the New Year’s activities, the annual Meet the Artist Show & Sale will be held on Friday February 27th from 6:00 until 8:00 pm and Saturday, February 28th from 10:00 am until 5:00 pm at The Studio in Historic Downtown Toccoa. Over 30 Artists and artisans will be available to show their work and meet the community. A variety of media including oil, acrylic, watercolor, jewelry, pottery, pastel, mixed media, photography, drawing and more will be available for every artistic preference. All art on display will be available for sale both days.
This show is being expanded to include a “Miniature Show.” All member artists and artisans have been invited to create a miniature masterpiece (no larger than 11” x 14”) and donate it to the Currahee Artists’ Guild for a fundraising event in conjunction with the Meet the Artist Show & Sale. Over 50 pieces of artwork are available for your review and tickets (6 for $25.00 or $5.00 each) are available for purchase prior and during both days of the show. The show will conclude with a drawing at 4:00 pm on Saturday, February 28th, for the winner of each of the miniatures. Purchasers do not have to be present to win.
The Meet the Artist Show & Sale is a tradition that provides a great opportunity for artists and the community to spend time together in a relaxed setting in the spacious, historic Studio. The opening reception on Friday evening and the show on Saturday will include refreshments and live music.
