Friday, Nov 1, 6 p.m. The return of Fresno’s most outré art gala “Art on the Edge II” at Stud

Friday, November 1 at 6 p.m.

The return of Fresno’s most outré art gala “Art on the Edge II” at Studio 65, 2965 N. Maroa (just south of Shields and north of the railroad tracks.)

This event features the auction of pictures and sculptures personally selected by the incomparable Sister Rainy—she reputedly being the long (and willingly-) lost kin of that PBS stalwart, Sister Wendy.

For the admission price of a mere $20, you will receive an hors d’oeuvres buffet, a free-flowing selection of wines, photo ops with Sister Rainy, and the twice-in-a-lifetime chance to bid on artworks possessing that indefinite quality--the “ je ne sais quoi” the French speak of, though others have used different language to describe the collection.

Doors open at 6 p.m., with the auction to begin at 7. There’s plenty of off-street parking.

This is a fundraiser for the Fresno Center for Nonviolence. (home to many social justice groups in Fresno)..
(they are working for peace and social justice in a river of fundamentalist neo-cons.., in the heart of beast)

Tickets will be available at the Center, 1584 N. Van Ness (just south of McKinley) Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.; can be reserved through Pay Pal; or can be purchased at the door, though capacity is limited to 100.

This year, on-site credit card purchase of tickets and payment of bids will also be available. Come to support your Center, to discover the hidden quirks in your artistic sensibility, and above all to enjoy yourselves.
For more information call the Center at 559- 237-3223;
