Water Logged, but Red Hot:
SPA’s Foundational Art
A Brick-by-Brick Fundraiser
Jan. 24 (11:30AM) – Feb. 3, 2024 (5PM)
Silent auction bidding has closed. Thank you for your support.
Studio Place Arts (SPA) experienced a significant flood on July 10th, and we’ve been working on a variety of repairs over the past 7 months. One of the repairs has inspired this art fundraiser involving the creative re-use of damaged bricks from the foundation of our historic building, the Nichols Block.
We are thrilled that a group of our artist friends stopped by to collect a brick or two from our brick pile to make artworks for our Silent Auction. We thank them for their creativity and support.
Participating artists include:
Robert W. Brunelle, Jr., Paul Arthur Calter, Beth Campo, Giuliano Cecchinelli, Karen Cygnarowicz, Elizabeth Fram, Bruce Hasse, Stephany Komen Hasse, Jim Hessler, John Hikory, Joe John, Marianne Kotch, Rob Millard-Mendez, Leslie Roth, James Secor, Jonathan Silverman, Axel Stohlberg, Mary Tapogna, Athena Petra Tasiopoulos, Catrine Turillon, Janet Van Fleet, Pamela Wilson, Ann Young
Here’s how the Silent Auction works:
We encourage you to visit SPA to see these original works. If you are unable to visit and you need more information, let us know.
We greatly appreciate your support of the SPA Flood Recovery Fund! Thank you.
