PRESS
RELEASE
For one weekend in March you can purchase the work of MACA’s
award winning craft artists, support CBU’s fledgling art
program and encourage promising young artists from Memphis schools…all
at the same time. And if you attend the Friday evening reception
you can do it all with a glass of wine in your hand.
The Memphis Association of Craft Artists and Christian Brothers
University have once again come together to produce their spring
Fine Crafts Fair. The show and sale will be held March 26 –
28, 2010, in the Canale Arena on the CBU campus. On display will
be fine craft in a wide range of mediums, including pottery, glass,
wood, and much more.
Each of the participating artists will donate a piece of their
work for a silent auction. 100% of the money raised will go to
the CBU Art Department Scholarship Fund.
In addition to the fine craft show and sale, over a dozen area
school art departments will have their students’ work on
display. They will compete for cash prizes and the chance to spend
a day in the studio working one-on-one with some of MACA’s
talented artists.
A wine and cheese reception will be held on Friday, March 26,
from 5:00 pm—9:00 pm. The market will be open and all artists
will be in attendance. The hours for the show will be 10:00 am—6:00
pm on Saturday, March 27 and 11:00 am—5:00 pm on Sunday,
March 28. Parking will be available in the Central Avenue lot.
This event is free and open to the public.
