‘Norcross Shapes’ Art Exhibit and Silent Auction Set to Raise Funds for Gallery

Graphic for Norcross Shapes Art Exhibit

Norcross Gallery & Studios, a recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit, invites the community to visit their recently opened exhibition, Norcross Shapes. The month-long fundraising event features amazing art pieces of all shapes and sizes, including paintings, ceramics and jewelry created by local artists.

Visitors to the exhibit can view and enjoy the donated pieces, silently bid on their favorites or purchase artwork to take home the same day.

This special exhibition and fundraiser will help support the gallery’s many art projects including an annual exhibit of talented Norcross High School students, a free city-wide photo competition with awards and enrichment activities for persons with special needs.

Art enriches the viewer

As an IRS-recognized nonprofit, the gallery and studio must work to raise the funds needed to provide their services and the fine art exhibitions displayed not only in their main gallery, but in other locations around the Norcross/Peachtree Corners area. It’s the gallery’s heartfelt belief that “art enriches the viewer, the artists and the whole community.”

The organization’s board and artist-members support the gallery’s ongoing commitment to being a place for local residents of all ages to view and study original art made by local and nationally recognized artists or to come and create art of their own.
