LONG BEACH – An even dozen art donations have been gathered as raffle prizes for Peninsula Arts Association’s 39th Annual Fall Art Show.

A chance to win an original piece of art or an art inspired work by one of PAA’s members costs only $1. All funds received from the sale of raffle tickets goes directly into PAA’s High School Graduate Scholarship Fund. Awarded annually, this $1,000 scholarship is available to an art minded, graduating senior from either the Ocean Beach or Naselle/Grays River school districts.

Handcrafted earrings from Chinook’s M&D Designs; a turquoise necklace from Nahcotta’s Judy Leonard; a collectible, signed, 1998 Kite Festival poster from Marie Wagner and a set of original art inspired Christmas cards from Wes Moehnke are joined by Marilyn Casey’s original shorebird painting and Karen Brownlee’s lacelike pottery bowl as prizes. An original acrylic painting by Ocean Park’s Nancy Beliveau; a beautiful stained-glass wall hanging from Elaine Sackville-West; Oysterville’s Joan Taplin tile trivet (featuring one of her kite watercolors), a limited edition print in the softest of hues by Carol Johnson; a beach wreath by Bonnie Lou Cozby and a fish inspired concrete sculpture by Surfside’s Carol Olson finish off the list.

The 39th Fall Art Show runs Oct. 9 through 12 at the World Kite Museum in Long Beach. Remember … you don’t have to be an artist to support the arts!
