300 Plates Fundraiser: My Work's Included!
ART Access may be closing their gallery, but the work goes on. They will continue to support under-represented artists, handicapped, and disadvantaged artists. The 300 Plates fundraiser is still happening! I am lucky to be counted among the 185 Utah artists to be included in this fundraiser. While there won't be the giddy anticipation of waiting for our wristband to be randomly selected, here's what you need to know to add to (or start) your collection of these 10"x11" treasures.
