The exhibit highlights two works from each artist, one of which is donated by the artist for the Collector's Choice Benefit, the organization's largest special event fundraiser. The donated works are prominently displayed and featured in a silent auction. Funds raised in the Collector's Choice Benefit provide needed operational support for the non-profit organization.

Celebrating 12 years this year, the hugely popular Community Mosaic Project is back! This tandem outreach project/fundraiser was conceived in 2007 as a means to promote the visual arts. The display, hung along with the Collection Invitational, is constructed of 300 individual works of art, submitted by community members, youth, and established and emerging artists of all skill levels. Don't miss your chance to purchase a piece of this year's project - throughout the duration of the exhibit, the general public has the opportunity to purchase one of the 300 works; all proceeds benefit the non-profit organization. For updates, details or participation information, please call 920.854.2210. Canvases for the project are generously donated by the Artists Guild LLC in Sturgeon Bay.
