Tonight's The Night, or, Let's Honor the Arts

Tonight is the NoVAC (North Valley Arts Council) Annual Meeting, Winter Market and Annual Arts Awards.

The North Valley Arts Council (NoVAC) invites you to attend An Evening with the Arts, a celebration of the arts community, on Tuesday, January 30, 2007 from 4:30-7:00 pm at the Third Street Gallery, located at 28 South Third Street, in Grand Forks.

The evening will feature Winter Art Market – a silent auction fundraiser of “recycled” artwork that is ready for new life, to be shared with others. We have encouraged members of the Greater Grand Forks community to go through their homes and select quality items for the Market. Included in the auction are paintings, sculpture, and other unique objects d’art. Donated items are on view at www.culturepulse.org, click on special events.
