I was so excited to participate again this year in the 2022 Valdosta State University Annual Draw Project Fundraiser at the Annette Howell Turner Center for the Arts. Valdosta State University's Art and Design department means a great deal to me since it helped build me into the artist I am today. Therefore, giving back in anyway I can to the program means the world to me. Since in past years we have not been able to participate in person with a live auction at the opening reception, there has been a month long online auction. This allowed for non local individuals to participate in the auction and gain more exposure to the fundraiser. This resulted in this years fundraiser raising over $8,000 for student art scholarships. It was an exciting event to watch as paintings and drawings from local artist gained followers and bids!
