Thanks for the donations

VECCA sought art donations for the 50-50 Silent Auction Fundraiser that will benefit VECCA and the Woodstock Fire Departmentboth all-volunteer non-profits. We want to show gratitude to WFD for saving our building and to help them get their new roof!

This is strictly by DONATION: All artwork sold is a 100% donation to VECCA and WFD, split evenly. If the minimum donation amount is not met for your piece, you will be responsible for picking up your piece. VECCA will use the proceeds for continuing its mission connecting the community with the creative arts. VECCA and WFD are run completely by volunteers.
 
Artworks will be displayed in the VECCA Gallery until our Grand Re-opening reception on July 12th 1-3pm, in Downtown Woodstock.
