A Vision for Art presented by Northern Trust Brings Hundreds to the St. Mark’s Campus

Episcopal School of Jacksonville, St. Mark’s Campus’ fifth annual A Vision for Art event concluded yesterday. Throughout the five-day art exhibit showcasing 40+ professional artists, hundreds of avid collectors and casual buyers visited the campus. The Opening Night Patron Preview Reception and Celebration on April 19 held record attendance, with approximately 400 people attending. That evening, The Rev. Adam Greene, Head of School, presented the Presenting Sponsor, Northern Trust, with an original EMYO painting as a token of appreciation for their support. In all, 175 pieces of artwork were sold throughout the event. In addition to purchasing fixed-priced artwork, people had a unique opportunity to bid on grade-level art via the school’s A Future for Art online auction. A Future for Art, made possible by Linda R. Alexander and Duval Motors, raised $7,500 for the school and enabled ELP 1 – grade 5 students the chance to work alongside professional artists, fostering an appreciation for artistic expression from an early age.
