Thank you to our 2025 vintage art donors and purchasers of that art! We made about $9,000 for this wonderful annual CAP Fundraiser. 

If you would like to be reminded next year to donate art (December 2026), email Robin at programs@artspartner.org

What is CAP-a-Palooza?

"CAP-a-Palooza Art Sale Extraordinaire" is an annual fundraiser for the Community Arts Partnership (CAP), held over 9 days each December.  

We collect donations of not-new, pre-owned art from community members who are downsizing or have unused or unloved art that they can part with. We then hold an 8 day fundraising sale. Funds are for CAP general operating support and grants for artist support. 

The sale works well on two levels. Hundreds of people find joy in purchasing and coming to see what we have collected, AND community members feel good about donating their art collection to a good cause.  

(Note: We do not ask local artists to donate their own work.)

The art that is donated is vintage and contemporary, professional and amateur, fun and funky, antique and modern. There are paintings, photography, etchings, prints, small sculpture, pottery, embroidery, and more.   

Work is priced low so we can sell as out in 8 days. Prices drop throughout the sale. 

We thank our generous annual sponsor of the ArtSpace Gallery. Thank you Coughlin and Gerhart



THANK YOU!
