Sustainable Communities

There are two events: the Gala itself, and an Art Market where guests will have the opportunity to view and purchase art from artists featured at the gala. See below for details on the Art Market or jump to the Gala site for info on that event.

Green Art Market

Thirty or more local artists, designers, and artisans—many of whom were featured at the Gala—will have a broad range of environmentally themed work for sale. We’re accepting submissions until September 25. (See Call to Artists and Prospectus for more information.) We’ll have a showcase of the selected participants and their work on this website on or before October 15. Read More
