Museum Art Extravaganza!

Annual Christmas Sale: We've decided to change up the name a bit to better reflect our continuing goal - to coordinate and host the best art & fine craft sale of the year!  The Museum Art Extravaganza (MAX) will be held in the Aurora College Foyer on November 27th from 1:00 to 3:00. 

 

Tables are $20 each, you must call and register with the Museum.

 

We ask that vendors respect the fact that we wish to keep this sale as it was originally intended - only arts & crafts - no baking please.

 

Watch for posters coming soon.

 

Apologies to those on both subscriber lists for the double posting.
