Monarchs and Margaritas

For the first time, the Dunwoody Nature Center invited DFAA to exhibit their artwork at DNC's annual fundraiser, Monarchs and Margaritas. The event attracted 300 participants who enjoyed a farm to table dinner and bid on high ticket auction items. DNC's Chloe Green reviewed the submissions and selected the artwork. Sharon Weiss was invited to attend as a volunteer to promote DFAA and their work. The attendees were enthusiastic about the artwork and purchased eight paintings, which is wonderful for a three hour event. Congrats to those whose artwork was accepted, and special congrats to the artists who sold work. The exhibit resulted in a generous donation to DNC. We hope to repeat the collaboration next year. The 27 accepted pieces are pictured below.
