North Riverside Library Donation?

Are you willing to donate a piece of art to the NR library? The library will be holding a raffle or silent auction through their Library Foundation. All proceeds would go to the library.

Your art would then be displayed publicly for a set period of time, and the day of the raffle, they would invite the artists to meet the guests and share their work. It might be great exposure for you, in addition to serving a good cause! See Mrs. Zimmerman or Mr. Jensen if interested.
