Each year the French Art Colony produces a variety of community events, connecting our residents and visitors through the rich arts and cultural tapestry of our unique community. Mark your calendars and make plans to join us in celebrating life along the river!
The French Art Colony will sponsor our annual live and silent auction fundraiser on Saturday evening, April 18th, at The Elk’s Lodge in downtown Gallipolis. As the FAC’s major fundraising event of the year, Be Dazzled by The Arts, will be a fun and entertaining evening, with guest’s invited to wear their most dazzling attire and enjoy a glittering, glamorous atmosphere. There will be a variety of appetizers, sparkling signature cocktails, and a choice of prime rib or chicken dinner with sides. Doors open at 6 pm with dinner beginning at 7 pm. The event will feature live music with DJ, Beej Rocchi, live auction starting at 8 pm, and silent auction, with bidding available throughout the evening until 9:15 pm. Both silent and live auction items are donated by local businesses and individuals in support of the FAC’s art exhibits, classes, programming, StoryWalk and special events, promoting the arts.
