ART 4OUR sake is so named because the main event will consist of several artists including Darrell Henderson, Boone Nguyen, lary moten, Nadine Patterson, and Ed Shockley providing samples of their projects and the sale of original limited edition fine art prints, produced by both national and local artists at Brandywine Workshop. Brandywine Workshop, an international recognized workshop founded in 1972, has agreed, for the first time, to provide a limited group of high quality prints to be sold for the amazing discount price of 25% to 75% off per print, for that evening only. The works to be sold will be selected by members of the collective who will be on hand to discuss their choice to prospective buyers and hopefully, complete a sale. At the end of the day, they will then split the proceeds of sales with half going to their particular project and the other half going to the new Apogee/Brandywine program.
