Friends of the Gallery Fundraiser
Dear Kirksville Arts Community,
Please join us next Friday, March 1st for the 20th Annual Friends of the Gallery Fundraiser: Dream On, to be held in the University Art Gallery in Ophelia Parrish on the Truman State University Campus. Without these funds many of the national and international caliber exhibitions we bring to Kirksville would be out of reach, and funding for area school children to visit the gallery would be unavailable. This year’s theme “Dream On” reflects on the current exhibitions (last day also March 1st) and invites us to dream about the future of arts in Kirksville.
Suggested donation of $40 reduced to $20 to paying members of KAA and MOSI.
RSVP to stuckerpotter@truman.edu / 660-785-4133
Best wishes,
The Friends of the Gallery Committee
