Get crafty for a good cause

The Richmond, Virginia chapter of the American Institute of Graphic Arts will host Ornamentation 2006 on Thursday December 14, 2007 at Cafe Gutenburg.



This is a charity event to benefit Art 180. AIGA has put out a call for artists to create a work of hanging art that will be sold during a silent auction. The methods and materials are up to the artist, but the results must be masterful. The entries must be able to hang or be displayed in a reasonable and safe manner.
