Artists in Bloom 2018
April 19th, 2018The Artists in Bloom event gives talented students from Fine Arts, Visual Arts, Illustration, and 3D Animation the opportunity to paint live for 2 hours, while family, friends, and community members watch their paintings come to life. The paintings are then auctioned off and the money raised this year will go to support Dawson’s Financial Aid Office and our students in need.
Project Update
This year, the funds raised from the evening went to Dawson’s Financial Aid Office. The evening brought in $9,335.00, $5,280 of which came from the actual painting sales. Once the 10% of the money raised from the paintings was paid out to the artists, $8,795 was donated to the cause. This year was the first year a virtual reality painting was introduced. It was also the first time we had a professional painting donated by local artist and Dawson faculty, Neal Armstrong, as a raffle prize. There were many strong and talented student artists involved this year.
