Start gathering your art materials; finished projects and any other item you wish to donate to Tryon Painters and Sculptors’ “starving artists” tag sale fund-raiser. Bring your items to the former St. Luke’s Thrift Shop, located on North Trade Street in Tryon, on Tuesday and Wednesday, March 29 and 30 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.

If you would like to help with pricing items and decorating the space, TPS members will be at the thrift shop setting up from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. on Thursday, March 31.

The tag sale will take place Friday and Saturday, April 1 and 2, from 10:30 a.m. – 5 p.m.

TPS members will participate in the April Fools Fest Parade in their “best” starving artist painting attire. The parade is set for 3 p.m. on Saturday. All TPS members are invited to join in the fun. A “Trashion Show” will follow the parade.

Volunteer help is much appreciated. If you want to volunteer or have any questions, contact Aviva Kahn at 828-894-6374 or aviva1015@aol.com.
