Review for Ann Arbor Art Association, Ann Arbor, MI, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I was an artist participant in the 30X30 benefit show at the Ann Arbor Art Association. 30 artists each brought 30 works of art, and half of the proceeds went to benefit youth programs. I sold 18 of my paintings. It was an extremely positive experience- tons of artists and shoppers stormed the building last Saturday- three of my works were gone before I even saw them on the wall. There were crowds all day, refreshments, media coverage, and helpful staff. It was a very convivial atmosphere, and involved the entire community.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

as a young adult I took classes there- I've purchased items, and now I've contributed artwork to a gallery sale.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

Meeting the staff of the art center, other artists, and interested members of the community.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

Helpful and good at community outreach.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

Promote art throughout the city with murals and public sculptures- have a larger venue with more classes and gallery shows.

How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

About once a year

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

Role:  Professional with expertise in this field & I've taken classes there as a young adult, shopped there as a buyer of art istic goods, and now I've contributed my own art to help benefit future programs.
