The East Texas Art League will kick off a special fundraising art exhibit entitled “12x12” on Friday, Nov. 20 with an invitation only reception at the East Texas Regional Arts Center, 364 N. Austin St in Jasper. The exhibit will open to the public on Saturday, Nov 21 from 10am to 2pm; and will be on view through Dec. 18th. This exhibit is underwritten by the Milam Street Gallery in Jasper and the Ampersand Art Supply Co. of Austin, TX. The Ampersand Company donated 50 special twelve inch square panels which were distributed to area artists to use in their creations. These original works of art will be available for sale and silent auction and all proceeds go to The East Texas Art League, a 501-3c non-profit organization that works to promote the arts in the East Texas area. For exhibit hours and more information please call (409) 384-2404.
