Dear Friend of the Arts,

The very first Art Synergy fundraiser for the Springfield Art Association is fast approaching! This year the SAA will feature a creative, collaborative event which pairs community members with professional artists to produce artworks in a variety of media. A silent auction as well as Viewers Choice voting will also accompany the event.

A silent auction donation from your organization supports the programming and exhibitions of the Springfield Art Association, like our free and low-cost community events, local art exhibitions in our gallery, hands on art education, and our year-round event programming supporting local emerging artists. These, in addition to the amazing outreach provided by the Springfield Art Association, are all things that add value to living in central Illinois.

Please review the enclosed Art Synergy silent auction donation form. The Springfield Art Association

is a 501 (c)(3) tax-exempt organization, and all donations are tax deductible as noted. In order to receive the most value for your contribution and to be included in all our promotional efforts, please return the completed form with donated item by March 6, 2023 to ensure your donation is photographed and promoted properly. Thank you again for your support of the SAA and the debut of our creative, collaborative fundraiser, Art Synergy!

Warm Regards,

Barbie LaFrance
