Acorn To Oak Studios Brings Luck Of The Irish To Art Lovers With Friday Gallery Show

OAK LAWN, IL—Acorn to Oak Studios is bringing the luck of the Irish to art lovers this Friday, March 13, at a St. Patrick’s Day-themed fundraiser and gallery show. The event runs from 6 to 9 p.m. in the studio at 9411 S. 51st Ave. (corner of 94th Street and 51st Avenue).

Proceeds support studio programming as Acorn to Oaks prepares to move to a new location, as the current building is for sale.

“This is an important fundraiser for our studio because we are searching for a new location, and we are hoping that the community will continue to show support for the arts and artists so we can expand our offerings in a more permanent location,” ATO board member Sandra Bury said.

The studios will be turned into a gallery, which showcases the original work of area artists and participants in the studio’s creative programming and classes for all ages. All attendees will get a chance to “spin the wheel” for prizes. Door prizes will be drawn every 30 minutes, plus live music, heavy appetizers and beverages, demonstrations, basket raffles, silent auction items (including a special Chicago Bears item), and split the pot are featured.

Live music highlights Craig and Julia Lanigan’s dueling keyboards. Food is provided by Clancy’s, Nothing Bundt Cakes and others.

Advance tickets are $30 when purchased online, or $35 at the door and include one drink ticket. Additional drink tickets will be available for purchase, with complimentary unlimited soft drinks.
