Splash! Into an Evening of Fun to Support History and Education at the Gig Harbor History Museum

The Gig Harbor History Museum (HHM) is pleased to announce
its Fifth Annual Splash! Art at the Museum fundraising
event on Saturday, April 12, 2014, from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. This exciting event
of fine art, music, and delicious food and drink supports the exhibits and
educational programs presented in the HHM throughout the year. 



The HHM will present the highly entertaining auctioneer, Jim
Borgen. The guest juror this year is the distinguished Bob Sullivant, a glass
artist and past chair of the Gig Harbor Arts Commission. Not to be missed this
year are two very special Art Splashes, “hands-on art experiences” available to
the highest bidder: Dennis Cox, a former PLU Art Professor, is offering a
portrait of a person or a pet of your choosing; Seattle artist Barry Connolly
is offering an 'outdoor sculpture experience' for 10 people to construct
their own wire mesh, and quick-drying cement sculpture, rounded off with
an authentic Paella dinner.  There
will also be a silent auction, all accompanied by wine, music and delectable
“Taste of Gig Harbor” appetizers provided by select Gig Harbor restaurants and accompanied by
spirits from the Heritage Distilling Company.
