ART FROM THE HEART

Studio By The Tracks Shows Works From Pros and Studio Artists

Studio By The Tracks held its Art from the Heart fundraiser at B&A Warehouse on July 9.

Live and silent auctions were the highlights of the event, along with a selection of “buy-it-now” artwork by donating artists and Studio By The Tracks artists.

The annual art auction fundraiser helps support Studio By The Tracks, a studio and gallery for adult artists on the autism spectrum. The studio provides space, materials and instruction and guidance as needed, all free of charge to participating artists. ❖
