On Thursday May 10, 2012, MIRCI will host
52 Windows at 701 Whaley.
Join us as we celebrate the vision of South Carolina artists through
a collection of individually unique hand-painted vintage windows
to benefit MIRCI's housing and homeless programs for Midlands-area
individuals facing chronic mental illness. Tickets will be
available for purchase in 2012 – so stay tuned!
MIRCI invites artists to create original art from recycled windows (supplied by MIRCI) to be auctioned at their Gala Fundraiser on Thursday, May 10, 2012, from 6-9pm. All mediums are welcome. Artists may set a minimum bid (subject to review by the organizing committee) and will receive 50% of the sale price. If the piece does not sell, it will be returned to the artist. Participants are asked to submit a description of the work in 250 words or less to be included in the auction program.
The final deadline for completion and drop-off at MIRCI is Tuesday, May 1, 2012. Artists that drop off work Friday, April 27th, from 8:30am-5pm, or Saturday, April 28th, from 10am-2pm, may have their work selected to be displayed during the First Thursday Art Walk on Main Street on May 3, 2012, prior to the 52 Windows Gala.
