Hays Arts Council
The Gifted Treasures art sale opens from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday at the Hays Arts Center (112 E. 11th) and HAC Annex (1010 Main).
To shore up funding for the Hays Arts Council's 2023-2024 programming year (and offset expenses of its third crashed A/C unit in the past two years) the Hays Arts Council is capitalizing on some special art donations it's recently received and others that were tucked away after previous art sales...paintings, fine art prints, ceramics, sculpture, photographs, pottery, reproduction and decorative art.
It's recycling at its best. Join the council for the sale Thursday through Tuesday during regular Hays Arts Center hours.
The council wants to give a special thank you to Dr. Claire Mathews who, following a downsizing move earlier this year, provided the "foundation" for the art sale by donating a large number of wonderful original artworks.
Many of the works were courtesy of Mathews, with some donated by other generous friends.
You can see all of them - and a lot of others!- when our doors open at 5 p.m. on Thursday.
In addition to the larger works in the Hays Arts Center, the council will have a variety of items with lower price points in the Hays Arts Center Annex at 1010 Main.
Be sure to check out both of the buildings.
