Art Opportunity and Chance to Save S and S Art

Calling all Artists!!

S & S Art Supply is celebrating its TWO-YEAR ANNIVERSARY! We’re thrilled to be part of the revitalized Main Street, but our business is still young and hoping to grow. However, there are many expenses like getting our A/C working and paying our rent. We need your help to keep us going and our doors open!

Here’s what you can do! Starting on First Thursday June 2^nd you can pick up a panel to create a unique and wonderful piece of artwork to donate for a Silent Auction (bidding starting at $25 per artwork), with proceeds going to S & S Art Supply. The event is Saturday, July 23^rd. Our goal is to sell fifty panels, so please help spread the word to any artists or art patrons you know!! As a thank you for donating your time and art to S & S Art Supply you will receive a 20% coupon good towards your entire purchase!Panels can be picked up at S & S Art Supply or at the Tapp’s Art Center. Artists can select up to three panels per person. You can pick up a panel any time between now and July 18^thor until we run out.

Is there more that you can do to help? We want the event to be as big as possible and need entertainment, food and beverages. If you are a DJ, in a band, or work for/own a restaurant and want to participate or sponsor this event, please call Amanda Ladymon-Stockard at 803-603-7312 or e-mail at lily581@hotmail.com.We love our customers that chose to shop local and support local artists!
