Their goal in 2011 is to bring art classes to 1,000 students.  To achieve that goal in time for the start the 2011-12 school year they need to raise $231,000 by July 31, 2011.

Blog Navigation Update

Google, (host of this blog), has recently added a new feature which allows separate pages in addition to the familiar posts and sidebar gadgets. Notice that just under the banner at the top of the blog is a new menu bar. There are now two tabs that when clicked will display a list of artists in the Twelve Oaks and Laurel Park Place stores. If an artist has a web site, blog, shop, gallery, or other online presence displaying their work, clicking artist's name will open that page in a new browser window or tab.

This is a work in progress and  is still being updated. Several new artists have recently joined us, and there are still more to come, so please visit here often to see what's new at both stores!
