Sitka Art Invitational Turns 15 in 2008!
An energized group of Sitka Art Invitational enthusiasts gathered in Portland June 15 for a brainstorming session to kickoff the 2008 event. Ideas generated for the 2008 event included: creating a marketing plan to set the stage for increased sponsorships and participation, expanding educational opportunities by involving more schools that emphasize arts and the environment, and continuing the successful Patrons' Dinner initiated in 2006. We thank the many volunteers who have helped make the Art Invitational a success. Read More »
