Artworks Announces the Second Annual

10×10 Red Dot Benefit
Art Exhibit & Sale

Saturday, December 1, 2012  
4 – 7pm reception

Red Dot + Artwork = Support. The Red Dot shows support of Community Arts in Trenton. Come to the Artworks Red Dot Fundraiser and put your red dot on the art that you love.

Over 100 Trenton area artists created artworks on 10″ x 10″ canvas. The work is dynamic, diverse and all created especially for Artworks. Professional, teacher and student artists created works in oil, acrylic, mixed media, photography, pastel, watercolor and more.
Each artwork sells for $100 with the funds raised going to support Artworks.

It is a chance for the novice to test the waters of the world of original art and an opportunity for the collector to build their art collection.
