The event kicked off with a sold-out Opening Night Celebration event on Friday, April 21. Saturday and Sunday drew big crowds with “Family Fun Day” and “Sunday Sip & Shop.” St. Mark’s Campus also welcomed community members Monday and Tuesday for after-hours happy hour shopping experiences.

 

In all, A Vision for Art sold 214 one-of-a-kind masterpieces ranging in price from $10 to $3,200.
