SEQUIM — Olympic Theatre Arts is seeking donations of original works of art in three dimensions to be featured in its annual fundraiser that this year is called “OTA’s Heart for the Arts.”
This year’s event will feature works such as sculptures, yard art, quilts, holiday wreaths and trees, wood carvings and the like.
Artists who participate will be recognized during the open house reception in their honor Nov. 16.
They also will be featured throughout the coming months in all marketing publicity for the event and will receive complimentary theatre tickets for the entire season.
The event culminates Nov. 17, when attendees will enjoy a feast and live auction featuring the original art.
Carol Willis, executive director for the community theater, said, “We feel that theaters are the cultural hubs of any community and we want to open our doors and our hearts to celebrate the many other art forms that are so plentiful and so unique to our area.”
The culinary portion of the Nov. 17 event will celebrate the art of food and taste with a to-be-announced local chef providing savory and sweet bites using local foods paired with beverages including wines, ciders and beers.
“What a wonderful way to welcome the holiday season, with fine art and fine food in a fine local venue,” OTA board member Elaine Caldwell said.
Interested artists can call the OTA office at 360-683-7326 or procurement chair Jan Unruh at 360-720-6169.
