2nd Chance to Buy TOYS Art

HughV — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 22:42:07 +0000

Some of our TOYS artists are showing their pieces created for last week’s show at the Indypendent Holiday Art Sale on Friday, Dec. 11 from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. at the Indianapolis Artsgarden in Circle Center Mall.

Dan Thompson and Ryan Alvis will definitely be showcasing their pieces. William Denton Ray, who also painted up a cool skateboard for TOYS, will have more than 200 pieces for sale, which he calls “Whimsical Funk.”

Be sure to check it out. Local art for holiday presents…what a great idea!

Dan Thompson, pen & ink, “Must Have(s)”

Pasta Drive Nets 144 lbs.

It was a simple request. “When you’re coming out to our TOYS event, bring some dry pasta.” Well, you came through. Boy, did you come through!

You contributed 144 pounds of dry pasta for our friends at Second Helpings.

We’re fond of saying that “It’s about the art,” but this time of year, in these tough times, it’s about so much more. Your small gesture made a big difference.

Thank you.
