The McCall Arts and Humanities Council will be presenting its annual Artists’ Celebration of Charlie’s Garden on Saturday, July 31, from 5:30pm to 8:00pm. The event features a large silent auction of juried art by regional artists, as well as tasty appetizers, wine, and music. Hosted by the Davidson and Shaver families, the “Garden Party” is the single most important fundraiser of the year for the nonprofit Arts and Humanities Council. “The support we receive through the Artists’ Celebration of Charlie’s Garden is really what makes it possible for us to offer all of our programs throughout the year,” notes MAHC director Tracey Kindall.
“Since the artists benefit as well, the event offers a double dose of support for the arts in McCall.”
This year, new elements have been incorporated into the event. For the first time, a “Jury’s Choice” area will feature select pieces chosen by the jury for particular display of skill, creative expression, masterful execution, and fresh vision. This summer the Jury’s Choice area will feature fifteen works by artists Deb Jones Yensen, Christine Raymond, Jesse DeMoss, Katherine Mahn, Howard Hamilton, Carl Rowe, Jennifer Worsley, Ken Newman, and Donna Bernstein. Tickets for the event are $60 per person and available locally at Mountain Monkey Business and McCall Drug. To inquire further, contact the MAHC at 634-7136 or mahc@ctcweb.net.
