Srudio Scraps

Hi All,
 
Art by the Sea Gallery is holding our annual PedWay Sale of pre-owned art and craft supplies on Saturday, August 15 at 10 a.m.
 
This is a fundraiser for the gallery to help us keep art and classes available in Old Town.    
 
If you would like to help out, please clean out your studio and donate things you no longer use. 
Please put things in a box marked “For Pedway Sale” and drop them off at the gallery at 175 2nd St SE in Continuum Building, Old Town Bandon. 
Another creative person will enjoy making something with them, and you will enjoy having less clutter in your studio.
 
We appreciate your support in all the ways you help. 
                                                                                                                                                                                          
(We are not a non-profit so your donations are not a tax write-off.)
 
Thank you for coming to the gallery, buying art and taking classes, as well as the donations.
 
Sincerely,
 
Members of Art by the Sea Gallery and Studio

Hi Deryl,
 
Can you get the word out to all your amazing artists that we are still accepting applications for this year's Blackberry Arts festival (Aug 22 - 23).   We are slowly and carefully working our way back to a true arts festival with the help of some great jury judges and our long time artisans.  Applications are available at coosbaydowntown.org. 
 
Thanks!! --  Gina
