VAGF is offering our members an opportunity to participate in a Bowl Painting Party benefiting Frisco Fastpacs on February 7th.

We are excited to support a local Frisco charity whose mission is to ensure that no child in Frisco has to endure hunger when school is not in session. Every week throughout the school year they deliver individual, pre-packed meal bags of non-perishable food to all 72 Frisco ISD schools. Each bag contains seven meals for children to have over the weekend. Frisco Fastpacs is a private 501(c)3 non-profit, that operates completely on donations of food and funds from the private sector.

On February 7, 2023, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. we will gather at Make Expressions Frisco (2995 Preston Rd, #1535, Frisco Tx 75034). Each artist will paint a bowl (or a plate) using supplies provided by Make Expressions. VAGF will provide food and drinks for this event. The painting party is limited to the first 20 artists who respond to this call. 

The submission fee of $35 covers your seat at the party, all supplies needed, and your submission of up to two images of your original artwork for additional opportunity to auction at the FEB 23rd fundraising event – (open theme/hanging instructions below for the artworks that would be available for auction at the Empty Bowls event later in the month… more info about the Empty Bowls Event below). 

Submission Deadline February 2nd.

EMPTY BOWLS EVENT INFO

Empty Bowls February 23rd is a ticketed event (this is the mian fundraising event for Frisco Fastpacs at Verona Villa in Friso TX) and our VAGF artist’s painted bowls/plates will be auctioned as a fundraiser. 

If you particpate in our private VAGF bowl/plate painting party and uploaded up to two images of artwork you wish to donate for this fundraiser – your art piece(s) will be set up on art panels during the Empyt Bowls event for opportunity to be auctioned off at the event.  The artist will receive 50% of the final price, with the other 50% being split between Frisco Fastpacs and VAGF. If the artwork is not sold at auction, it can be picked up at the end of the event. Pieces must have value of at least $100.

If you wish to attend the main Empty Bowls Frisco event on the February 23rd, you can purchase tickets at $75 each separately.   Volunteering opportunities will be available and posted after the bowl painting party so we know how many persons we need for the artworks auction portion of the evening. 

All submitted works should be framed and ready-to-hang with wire taut at the upper fourth of the frame. Saw hook hanging will not be accepted. All works on 1/2” canvases should be framed. All the works on 1” to 2” canvases need to have neatly painted edges if not framed. 

Due to space limitations, art pieces cannot exceed 24 inches in either dimension (including the frame).

Please plan to drop off your art at Verona Villa on February 23, 2023, at 5:30 p.m. Pickup will be arranged depending on whether the artwork is sold.
