The Aurora Arts District is GROWING thanks to Kim Harrell and many creative persons in the area........ :)

...and don't forget the incredible Original Aurora staff -- (Peg Alt (community art organizer) and Lucille Morse (Aurora Artist) who together singlehandedly) presented an amazing Master Pieces Community art project---it involved over 350 community members who painted 12" x12" squares of twelve famous master piece paintings. City council members, the mayor, city staff, neighborhood residents, kids from the local schools, police officers, local restaurants, local art galleries, local art programs, Aurora businesses--- painted the 12'"x 12'" squares which were then put together in 36 - tiles into massive paintings---the event culminated in an elegant Community Wine and Cheese evening where the finished apintings were auctioned. The proceeds will go towards funding Community Arts Projects this year 2008. One of the auctioned paintings was later used in another fundraiser which raised an additional $60,000 for a housing organization.

And the Community Art Team finally placed in year 2007 their giant 14' blue chair---the original chair project raised $80,000, the proceeds went to fund art projects in the community and the 14' blue chair sculpture.

We are really growing out here in Aurora!! Come see the East End Art Walk on June 13th from 5-9pm.
