One of the exciting donations is a handmade 3-string fretless guitar by Croc Bite Guitars. Here are some pictures of this item.
The Health Care for the Homeless art class will have several artists’ works in the show as will White Rabbet Gallery.
It promises to be one of the premier art auctions of the year! I look forward to seeing you there.
