The Blaine Fine Arts Association is gearing up for its 28th annual Arts and Jazz Fundraiser in the Blaine High School cafeteria at 7 p.m. Saturday, February 8.
Entertainment will be provided throughout the evening with artwork on display, drama performances, live music from band and choir and small bites prepared by culinary students.
“We want the general public to know this isn’t just restricted to people who have students in the district,” association president Kim Shea said. “We want people to know what the school has available as far as the arts programs.”
The event will have a live and silent auction, with auction items including a package for Nelson Driving School, a stay at a Mt. Baker cabin, sports tickets, local business baskets, gift certificates and fresh baked items from L&L Bakery.
Last year’s fundraiser brought in $17,000 for the arts departments, Shea said. Money goes toward scholarships for graduating seniors, art materials, field trips, drama props and uniforms for band and choir.
During Evening of the Arts last May, Felix Hensley’s art piece titled “Goopy” was selected to be the featured work for the Arts and Jazz Fundraiser.
Tickets cost $10 for adults and $5 for students and seniors. There is no fee for children under 5 years old.
