About the event
Tuolumne County Arts is proud to present
Outside the Box—a fundraising art show and auction!
Explore creations that break physical boundaries and challenge art’s traditionally flat plane through our brand new fundraising exhibition, Outside the Box.
Artists are invited to transform 5"x8" wooden boxes into anything they can imagine—dioramas, curios, portals, whimsical assemblages, reliquaries that set your creativity ablaze, and more!
Outside the Box provides an opportunity for participating artists to earn money through sales of their works, while simultaneously helping to raise funds for Tuolumne County Arts.
Fundraising and Sales
Replacing the annual Small Works Show, Outside the Box is TCA's new, main fundraising art show endeavor, coinciding with our yearly Hearts for the Arts donation drive. Participating in this show and auction will not only support the artists exhibiting and selling their works, but will also support the local arts by helping to keep our organization alive. All profits will be divided between the show’s artists and Tuolumne County Arts.
Every penny raised for TCA goes towards our operational costs—funding crucial necessities such as staffing and supplies—and in turn helping us continue to host events and workshops for the community, distribute grants to artists to support their projects, facilitate arts education in schools, provide sustainable & low-cost art supplies, and much more!
Your support for Tuolumne County Arts is essential to our survival. We immensely appreciate the generosity and talents of our community, and thank you from the bottom of our heARTs! ♥
