The Friends of the Plainfield–Guilford Township Public Library Seeks Artists for the 2019 Arts Gala.

They are seeking artists who make decorative garden art such as sculpture, trellises, or whimsical pieces for the garden. This fine art sale and fundraiser is the largest indoor fine art events in Hendricks County.

The Arts Gala opens with the Starlight Reception, which is now open to the public on Friday, April 26 from 6:30 p.m. – 9 p.m. This spectacular event allows the community to meet the artists and gives them the first opportunity to view and make their purchases from the displayed art.  Attendees will enjoy live music, hors d’oeuvres, wine, and craft beers.

The event continues on Saturday, April 27, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. and Sunday, April 28, 1 – 5 p.m., with various live-artist demonstrations throughout the day.

The purpose of the Arts Gala is to raise funds for special Library programs and initiatives that will benefit the community. In previous years funds went towards updating the Children’s Room and sponsoring mental health events and awareness.

Over the last six years the Arts Gala fundraiser has:

Sold over $103,000 in local artwork
