Garage sale with an artistic twist

By Nikki Talotta on May 16, 2012

Nothing says garage sale season like seven sunny weekends in a row. This Saturday in Olympia, The Patrons of South Sound Cultural Arts (POSSCA), a non-profit supporting kids and culture, presents the Artists' Garage Sale, an art -lovers' extravaganza and fundraising event.

From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., over 70 participants will have goods for sale. From art supplies to finished pieces, the $1 admission will be well worth it. The event will be at the National Guard Armory at 515 Eastside St, SE, Olympia.

All money earned will support POSSCA's arts awareness mission, including their annual scholarship program, enabling talented high school seniors to pursue higher education in arts, and CAPS program, which provides musical instruments to students who would otherwise be unable to participate in school programs.

"We believe that a thriving arts scene is an excellent barometer for quality of life in our community," says the POSSCA website. "When the arts scene is alive and dynamic, we believe it has a profound and positive impact on education, business and private life."

What an excellent way to spend a sunny Saturday - supporting your local non-profit while sifting through tons of art-related treasures.
