My name is Sarah Buckmeier, I am the Special Events Intern for alley's house this fall. alley's house is a wonderful non-profit in Dallas that empowers teen mothers and their children to become independent through support services that we provide for them. We are having our 8th Annual Art Auction fundraiser at Rising Galley on February 4, 2012.
We are currently recruiting artists to participate in our Art Auction. We provide the artist with a 24"x24" canvas that will be auctioned off as silent auction art piece. Each piece is priced with the starting bid at $150. This year alley's house is sharing the proceeds generated by the art piece with the artists 50/50.
Canvases will be available for pick up now through October 28th, 2011 at alley's house located at 4133 Junius Street, Dallas, TX 75246. All art work is to be completed and delivered back to alley’s house on or before Friday January 6th, 2012
