Donations For Auction
Another successful Gala! Thank you for supporting the ACS!
We have come a long way in the past 17 years, increasing classes and locations, offering specialized instruction and activities for community members and those from other areas of the state and region. We know we could not have accomplished all we have without the support of our sponsors, members, and donors. Winston Churchill once said, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” Through the availability of craft art opportunities offered, which always enriches a community and reflects the viability of a community, the Arkansas Craft School continues to strive hard to be a positive component of life in Mountain View. As you know, the theme of our recent gala was, “The Arkansas Craft School in the Creative Economy” which highlighted how the ACS and our supporters are making it possible to celebrate and explore traditional and contemporary craft art as we continue to strengthen the creative economy of our area.
A huge shout out to the following sponsors for making the 15th annual Gala a huge success. We know you are celebrating with us!
